Drugs Alcohol and Addiction in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume III

This collection captures key themes and issues in the broad history of addiction and vice in the Anglo-American world. Focusing on the long nineteenth-century the volumes consider how scientific social and cultural experiences with drugs alcohol addiction gambling and prostitution varied around the world. What might be considered vice or addiction could be interpreted in various ways through various lenses and such activities were interpreted differently depending upon the observer: the medical practitioner; the evangelical missionary; the thrill seeking bon-vivant and the concerned government commissioner to name but a few. For example opium addiction in middle class households resulting from medical treatment was judged much differently than Chinese opium smoking by those in poverty or poor living conditions in North American work camps on the west coast or on the streets of Soho. This collection will assemble key documents representing both the official and general view of these various activities providing readers with a cross section of interpretations and a solid grounding in the material that shaped policy change cultural interpretation and social action. | Drugs Alcohol and Addiction in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume III
