Investigating the Investigators
This paper investigates the investigators behind the distinct ‘moral panic’ that targeted mixed-race families residing in Britain’s multiracial port communities during the interwar period. This period witnessed heightened social anxieties following the First World War, exacerbated by the economic downturn and the visible presence of multiracial populations, a consequence of wartime labour demands. The 1919–1920 ‘race riots’, erupting in various B…
Britain’s ‘brown babies’
This book recounts the little-known history of the mixed-race children born to black American servicemen and white British women during the Second World War. Of the three million American soldiers stationed in Britain from 1942 to 1945, about 8 per cent (240,000) were African-American; the latter's relationships with British women resulted in the birth of an estimated 2,000 babies. The African-American press named these children 'brown babies'; t…
Born to black GIs
Defying racial prejudice
When American troops started to arrive in Britain in 1942 there was concern about British women’s potential intimacy with black GIs. To discourage such relationships, British troops, including the women in the ATS, were lectured on the need to keep contact with black GIs to a minimum; soldiers found with black GIs were reported; a whispering campaign hinted at the high rate of VD amongst black Americans; women were prosecuted under DORA for tresp…
Interracial Relationships and the “Brown Baby Question”
Modern women on trial
Focusing on a number of sensational trials with young female defendants involving drugs, murder, adultery, miscegenation and sexual perversion in the period 1918-1924, the books suggests that the figure of the modern woman/flapper was a personification of the upheavals of the time, representing anxieties about modernity, and instabilities of gender, class, race and national identity. Later she came to stand for the ‘roaring’ 1920s, but in the per…

Hunnish Scenes' and a 'Virgin Birth
When, in June 1921, a clairvoyant informed Christabel Russell, to her great surprise, that she was pregnant, her husband denied paternity and petitioned for divorce on grounds of adultery. The Hon. John Russell claimed that on the very few occasions that they had slept in the same bed in their two and half years of marriage, his method of birth control (which she referred to disapprovingly as "Hunnish scenes") had made pregnancy impossible. What …

The Long Sexual Revolution
Women Police
Sexual Moralities
White Women and Men of Colour
This article examines miscegenation fears in Britain in the period after World War I, noting three dominant discourses: that miscegenation leads inevitably to violence between white and black men (focusing on the 1919 race riots), that these relationships involve sexual immorality (analysing the 1920 'Black Horror on the Rhine', a case involving a white woman, a Chinese man and drugs and a trial of a white woman for killing her Egyptian husband) …

Heterosexuality, feminism and The Freewoman journal in early twentieth-century England [1]
In 1911 a new feminist paper appeared calledThe Freewoman. Its life was short, its circulation small, but its reputation was notorious and its influence of some significance in feminist and radical circles. The paper's notoriety stemmed largely from its open discussion of sex, or rather heterosexuality, since lesbianism and homosexuality were barely mentioned. Combining older feminist concerns with newer sexological concepts, women and men discus…
Purifying' the public world
In late nineteenth-century England, a number of feminists confronted prostitution through the closing of brothels and the expulsion of prostitutes from places of entertainment. Feminist historians have either understood this behaviour as reflective of feminist' powerlessness within the largely non-feminist movement for social purity, or they have neglected the behaviour and concentrated on the aspects of these women' work that appear more positiv…
