Table of ContentsReviews“Far more than a medical history of psychotropic drugs, Drugging France presents a detailed cultural and social history of pain and pain relief.” Rod Phillips, Carleton University and author of French Wine: A History “Highly accessible and enjoyable to read, Drugging France is pathbreaking not only for the historical literature on France, but for the entire field of drug history.” Howard Padwa, UCLA Integrated Substance Abuse Programs “This fascinating work is an important contribution to the understanding of the practices of care, pleasure, and experimentation made possible by psychotropic drugs in the nineteenth century. Sara Black considerably enriches a historiography that has until now been too concentrated on the phenomenon of addiction, by showing how much the use of psychotropic drugs was in fact anchored in the practices of the French, and by extension of Westerners, in a complex and varied set of consumptions.” H-Sci-Med-Tech, H-Net Reviews Far more than a medical history of psychotropic drugs, Drugging France presents a detailed cultural and social history of pain and pain relief.
