ALCOHOL AND DRUGS IN NORTH AMERICA: A HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPEDIA

David M. Fahey (History, Miami University) and Jon Miller (English,
University of Akron) are editing a two-volume reference work for
ABC-CLIO. It will explore the history of the production, distribution,
sale, and consumption of alcohol and other drugs in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico. The encyclopedia will include the history of
temperance movement, the regulation of alcohol and drugs, and a broad
range of private and public organizations addressing the use and abuse
of alcohol and drugs. By "drugs" we mean unregulated, regulated, and
(currently) illegal drugs. The study of the history of alcohol and
drugs includes the cultural representation of their use and opposition
to them, as well as commercial advertising. Many articles will be
brief biographies (told from the perspective of alcohol, temperance,
or drug history), business histories, or accounts of major legislation
concerning the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol.

Articles will vary in length from 4000 to 600 words, including brief
bibliographies.

The editors invite contributions from senior and junior scholars,
including graduate students, in all disciplines interested in alcohol,
temperance, and drugs. Please see below for a list of planned entries.
An asterisk means that an entry is not yet assigned. The editors
welcome suggestions for additional entries.

All entries will credit the author. The encyclopedia will be published
both as a printed book and as an e-book.

Although most contributors should not expect payment, contributors who
publish an article or articles adding up to 4000 words will receive a
modest honorarium. Details will be available when a prospective
contributor offers to join the project. Please identify the entries
desired and provide a brief CV; a paragraph or two should suffice.
