Vice was one of the primary shared interests of the global
community at the turn of the twentieth century. Anti-vice activists
worked to combat noxious substances such as alcohol, drugs and
cigarettes, and 'immoral' sexual activities such as prostitution.
Nearly all of these activists approached the issue of vice by
expressing worries about the body, its physical health, and
functionality. By situating anti-vice politics in their broader
historical contexts, Global Anti-Vice Activism, 1890-1950 sheds
fresh light on the initiatives of various actors, organizations and
institutions which have previously been treated primarily within
national and regional boundaries. Looking at anti-vice policy from
both social and cultural historical perspectives, it illuminates
the centrality of regulating vice in imperial and national
modernization projects. The contributors argue that vice and vice
regulation constitute an ideal topic for global history, because
they bridge the gap between discourse and practice, and state and
civil society.
