Aderinto has been the creator of When Sex Threatened the State The Illicit Sex as well as Nationalism and Politics within Colonial Nigeria, 1900-1958 (University of Illinois Press in 2014) the winner of the Nigerian Studies Association’s Book Award Prize for the “most important scholarly book/work on Nigeria published in English language.” The book explores “the intersection of sex work and the imperial project in British Nigeria.” The book has been called “The first comprehensive history of sexuality of colonial Nigeria.” The book “combines the study of a colonial demimonde with an urban history of Lagos and a look at government policy to reappraise the history of Nigerian public life.” Another reviewer believed that “Saheed Aderinto’s work is an significant work for African social history as well as Nigerian historiography . ”When Sex was a threat to the State” is read in more than twelve journals, including The Canadian Journal of African Studies, American Historical Review, International Journal of African Historical Studies, Africa: the Journal of the International African Institute, Canadian Journal of History, Journal of the History of Sexuality, Journal of West African History, the Historian and the Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History as well as other.
The origins of the LSA began in May 2016 , when Aderinto hosted a conference about Lagos along with Abosede George (Barnard College) and Ademide Adelusi- Adeluyi (University of California, Riverside) at Barnard College, New York City. The participants at the conference recognized the importance of having an institution to integrate the work of academics and non-academic experts in Lagos. They suggested the establishment of the LSA. In the spring of 2017, Aderinto was the one to initiate the formation of the LSA as “an international, interdisciplinary organization of academic and non-academic practitioners whose interest focus on Lagos and its peoples.” LSA LSA hosts its every year Lagos Conference held in Lagos (Nigeria) and hosts sessions at the international conference organized by both the African Studies Association of the United States and the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom.
His publications are in line with the research goals in Aderinto’s publications are in line with the research agenda of “Third Wave of Historical Scholarship on Nigeria.” Researchers of this time in Nigerian history as he demonstrates through one of his works that bears the same title is motivated ideologically by the need to demonstrate the significance of the past to modern Nigeria. Aderinto is attracted by themes such as sexuality, something his predecessors were reluctant to write about, and which were not studied by groups of children, placing their experiences at the heart of the colonial discourse of modernity. In addition, he challenges the rigid distinction between postcolonial and colonial ideas by demonstrating that the historical periods shouldn’t be treated in a rigid manner; instead, historians must acknowledge the continuity and evolution of the fundamental structures and processes which led to their creation. Aderinto is certainly not the only historian to advocate the need to link precolonial, colonial, as well as postcolonial Nigerian history into an overall thread of ideas. He is however one of the very few historians to put this theory into practice, by dedicating carefully written epilogues on the postcolonial periods to books that focus that focus on the colonial era, and including a chapter on Precolonial time. Aderinto’s research on romantic love, love and emotional states, sit at the intersection of race, gender and social class as well as the development of power throughout time and space.
