1 ene 1909 año - The British Colonial Office published a circular known as the "Concubine Circular"

Descripción:

In 1909, the British Colonial Office published a circular known as the "Concubine Circular", officially denouncing officials who kept native mistresses, accusing them of "lowering" themselves in the eyes of the native population.

A debate in parliament followed, which in turn obliged the Colonial Secretary, Lord Crewe, to issue what became known as the “Concubine Circular” in January 1909. Formally, the document had no name, although the file for comments and replies was entitled “Immoral Relations with Native Women”. Taking native mistresses was “injurious and dangerous” and “disgrace and ruin” awaited those who made the mistake of entering into “arrangements of concubinage with girls or women belonging to the native populations”.
