Inhaltsangabe

* Paul Gootenberg's introduction to The Oxford Handbook of Global Drug
History sets out to take stock of what is known of the history of
illicit drugs and of the field of drug history. This task is amply
completed in the thirty-five comprehensive and informative chapters
that follow. Each contributor expertly situates drug history and
historiography within broader social, economic, and political
contexts.
