Traces the genealogy of a narrative about the primitive normativity of African sexuality that British colonial authorities in Kenya used to justify their control over African populations. Williams demonstrates how narratives of African sexual normativity, rather than deviance, reinforced ideas about the evolutionary backwardness of African peoples and their inability to govern themselves.
