Narcotic culture
"For over a century Chinese adn Western historians have, for different reasons, acquiesced in the image of nineteenth-centrury.China enslaved by imperial bondage to a pandemic of opium adddiction. Narcotic Culture offers an d elegent, compelling, and timely expositions of an entirely different story: a Chine where opium use was and indigenous addition to a long-etsablished cultural complex, and where the truecrisis of addiction was triggered not by opium itself buy by the Western 'anti-opium' medicattiobs which followed in the wake of its prohibition. As such it not only revises a century of flawed historiography, but poses a profound challenge to the founding myth of contemporary drug policy." - Mike Jay, author of Emperors of Dreams in the Nineteenth Century.
