Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. To this day, the perception persists that China was a civilisation defeated by imperialist Britain's most desirable trade commodity, opium - a drug that turned the Chinese into cadaverous addicts in the iron grip of dependence. But, as this new edition of Narcotic Culture brilliantly shows, the real scandal in Chinese history was not the expansion of the drug trade by Britain in the early nineteenth century, but rather the failure of the British to grasp the consequences of prohibition. They reveal that opium actually had few harmful effects on either health or longevity; in fact, it was prepared and appreciated in highly complex rituals with inbuilt constraints preventing excessive use. Opium was even used as a medicinal panacea in China before the availability of aspirin and penicillin. But as a result of the British effort to eradicate opium, the Chinese turned from the relatively benign use of that drug to heroin, morphine, cocaine, and countless other psychoactive substances. The transition from a tolerated opium culture to a system of prohibition produced a 'cure' that was far worse than the disease. Delving into a history of drugs and their abuses, Narcotic Culture is part revisionist history of imperial and twentieth-century Britain and part sobering portrait of the dangers of prohibition.

Aggiungi al carrelloHard Cover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. An important new study on the history and use of narcotics in China, from the 1600's to the mid 20th century. Of particular interest is the analysis of opium use in China, wherein the authors debunk the traditional image of a weakened China expoited and cynically enslaved by Western opium traders. Rather, the authors demonstrate that opium rarely had the serious deleterious effects on users' health that historians and popular myth generally assigned to it; further that it was not just a Chinese drug, but in fact readily and legally available - and widely used - in Europe at the turn of the 20th century. Describes the role of Christian missionaries in creation of the opium myth; and continues on to document the growing use of more modern, and far more destructive, synthetic drugs in China in the first half of the 20th century. xi, 319 pp., 20 b&w plates, notes, extensive bibliography, list of Chinese terms, index. Size: 22 x 14.5 cm.
