The special issues of HISTOIRE SOCIALE/SOCIAL HISTORY and
CONTEMPORARY DRUG PROBLEMS have now been published! They contain
selected papers presented at the 1993 International Congress on the
Social History of Alcohol.
 
These papers span the period from the 16th century to the present;
investigate aboriginal, colonial and industrial societies; and employ
various methodologies and approaches, including quantitative,
iconographic, archaeological and symbolic analyses. In focus, they
range from a microanalysis of a parisian asylum population to a
survey of the many countries to which American prohibitionists
attempted to spread their gospel during the years of national
prohibition in the U.S.
 
The special issue of HISTOIRE SOCIALE contains an introduction by
co-editor Jack Blocker. Co-editor Patricia Prestwich introduces the
special issues of CONTEMPORARY DRUG PROBLEMS.
