Drugs and Alcohol: Contested Histories Northern Illinois University Press is proud to announce a new series on the history of alcohol and drugs. Broadly conceived in chronological and geographical scope, and under the direction of four internationally renowned scholars, this series will investigate cultural, legal, economic, and medical histories of alcohol, drugs, and other substances such as coffee and tobacco. We envision books that offer both valuable perspectives on timely issues and enjoyable reading for a wide audience.
