There's also, W. Jankowiak and D. Bradburd, eds., DRUGS, LABOR, AND COLONIAL EXPANSION. U. of Arizona Press, 2003. I don't think it's in paper, but it has an interesting overview essay. Also some interesting individual essays, including one by yours truly on alcohol and the slave trade and one also by Peter Mancall, whose work I regard as very important to the broader field David is addressing.

Tracy Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2004 1:06 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: teaching alcohol and drugs history Dear David et al., Now that John Crowley has recommended the UMass volume, let me helpfully (and shamelessly) provide the title: Sarah W. Tracy and Caroline Jean Acker, ALTERING AMERICAN CONSCIOUSNESS -- THE HISTORY OF ALCOHOL AND DRUG USE IN THE UNITED STATES, 1800-2000, University of Massachusetts Press, 2004. It's a wide ranging volume of essays that cover both alcohol and drugs; also provided is a historiographic introduction and bibliography for further reading. Caroline and I designed it with course use in mind. David Courtwright's book, FORCES OF HABIT has worked very well with my upper-level undergraduates. I also recommend Lori Rotskoff's LOVE ON THE ROCKS, and Estelle Parsons' MANHOOD LOST. I've used Caroline Knapp's DRINKING A LOVE STORY and Augusten Burroughs' DRY -- A MEMOIR as well with great responses from students.
