ABSTRACT
Henry Stokes, a “petty white man” and British subject, whose activities could have changed the course of British influence in Uganda. Travelers to Uganda before Winston Churchill had been impressed by the comely appearance of some of the women and some had been tempted into liaisons with them. In Uganda, sexual opportunities for European men included the practice of sexual hospitality which was common in the Buganda kingdom. In April 1931, B. H. M. Simpson was recalled to Entebbe, the Administrative Headquarters of Uganda Protectorate, in consequence of allegations of sexual misconduct made against him by his Provincial Commissioner. In 1934, three years after the Simpson case the Uganda administration had to deal with another case of sexual misconduct involving Assistant District Officer J. M. Ross. Ross arrived in Uganda in August 1931. The Uganda administration downplayed the occurrence of miscegenation in colonial Uganda.
