A History of Intoxication : Opium in Assam, 1800–1959 Hardback
by Kawal Deep Kour
Hardback
Description
This volume unearths the emerging pattern of consumption of opium in colonial Assam and the creation of drug-dependency in a social context.
It analyses the competing forces of the empire which played a key role in the production and distribution of opium; national politics alongside international drug diplomacy and how these together shaped the discourse of opium in Assam; the wider implications of opium production and consumption in the agrarian economy and the narrative of the nationalist critique of intoxication.
Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
