Zustand: as new. Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press, 2012. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 232 pp. Includes bibliographical references (p. [185]-224) and index. - Contents : Imagining the meditative nation : constructing the opium experience -- Anti-narcotic nationalism : the feared consequences of recreational opiate use -- The era of national narcotics control : the drug wars begin -- Control and its discontents : the plight of the addicted under opiate control. This comparative history examines the divergent paths Britain and France took in managing opiate abuse during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though the governments of both nations viewed rising levels of opiate use as a problem, Britain and France took opposite courses of action in addressing the issue. The British sanctioned maintenance treatment for addiction, while the French authorities did not hesitate to take legal action against addicts and the doctors who prescribed drugs to them. Howard Padwa draws on primary documents to examine the factors that led to these disparate approaches. He finds that shifts in the composition of drug-using populations of the two countries and a marked divergence in British and French conceptions of citizenship influenced national policies. Beyond shared concerns about public health and morality, Britain and France understood the threat opiate abuse posed to their respective communities differently. Padwa traces the evolution of thinking on the matter in both countries, explaining why Britain took a less adversarial approach to domestic opiate abuse despite the productivity-sapping powers of this social poison, and why the relatively libertine French chose to attack opiate abuse. In the process, Padwa reveals the confluence of changes in medical knowledge, culture, politics, and drug-user demographics throughout the period Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781421404202.
