Reviews

Meticulously researched, carefully written, and compellingly argued, this book breaks new ground. Kozma looks across the region at a fascinating social issue-regulated prostitution-tying it to global concerns. Moving adroitly from international law and urban planning to migration, disease, and abolition, she helps craft a new understanding of mobility in the interwar period. This is transnational history at its best. - Beth Baron, author of The Orphan Scandal: Christian Missionaries and the Rise of the Muslim Brotherhood
