x, 166, with a central section of monochrome photographic illustrations. In brown cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Boards very slightly rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends, else it’s neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original dust jacket, gently bumped at edges and lightly sunned over the spine. In January 1926 the Papuan administration, under Governor Sir Hubert Murray, passed the White Women’s Protection Ordinance – a piece of savagely discriminatory legislation which imposed the death penalty for rape and attempted rape of white women. This study looks at the causes and passage of that legislation, the ultimate in caste law, and its impact. First published in Australia in 1974 under the title Not a White Woman Safe: Sexual Anxiety and Politics in Port Moresby, 1920-1934.
