Drugs and their illicit use have long fascinated writers and the public at large. Informed by new interdisciplinary perspectives, a growing number of academically trained historians are now approaching drugs as a wide-open topic for serious research. This Handbook of Global Drug History is the first major attempt by historians of drugs to take stock of the recent progress and directions of this field, utilizing both a global scope and long-term historical perspective. Thirty-five original essays simultaneously survey what is known historically about drugs across the world (in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa) as well as illustrating their historical interconnections. The use of drugs in human culture goes back millennia with as many unique histories as cultures in which drugs were used. In the early modern world, human relationships with drugs changed, and drugs connected societies through transnational trade. In the nineteenth century, these diverse histories converge in defining the modern “pariah drugs” (among them alcohol, opium, and indigenous hallucinogens) and paved the way for the dramatic twentieth-century rise of both illicit drugs (such as cannabis, heroin, and cocaine) and global prohibitions. Now, in the twenty-first century, we see emerging possibilities for rethinking the global social, health, and policy approaches to drug trafficking and use.

Port cities from Marseille to Miami have long occupied a storied place in the popular imagination of global drug trafficking. Their advanced capitalist modernity made them fertile ground for illicit trade, with world-class shipping infrastructures, intricate transport and labour systems, post-colonial migrants and diasporic networks, and class-crossing cultural worlds.In the first sustained historical study of global ports, urban crossroads, and their relationship to modern drugs, Cities of Drugs traces how twelve cities – Rotterdam, Liverpool, Marseille, Istanbul, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Ciudad Juárez, Miami, Shanghai, Mumbai, and Cape Town – shaped and were reshaped by the international drug trade. Postwar disruptions created the structural conditions for trafficking, but local histories proved decisive. Ports and commercial hubs with major infrastructure, smuggling traditions, and cosmopolitan modern economies were especially likely to become drug centres where licit and illicit markets converged, though some cities emerged as hubs for other reasons. Drug cities, the contributors argue, are a complex and contingent analytical category, best understood through comparative urban history attentive to traffickers, labour, consuming cultures, and local politics.A compelling look at the hidden worlds of cities, this book tells a fascinating story of how underground cultures collided with overground economies to produce global drug trafficking hubs.

In the 1960s, the governments of Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia launched agricultural settlement programs in each country’s vast Amazonian frontier lowlands. Two decades later, these exact same zones had transformed into the centers of the illicit cocaine boom of the Americas. Drawing on concepts from both history and anthropology, The Origins of Cocaine explores how three countries with divergent different mid-century political trajectories ended up with parallel outcomes in illicit frontier economies and cocalero cultures. Bringing together transnational, national, and local analyses, the volume provides an in-depth examination of the deep origins of drug economics in the Americas. As the first substantial study on the shift from agrarian colonization to narcotization, The Origins of Cocaine will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students of Latin American history, anthropology, globalization, development and environmental studies.

This study of Peru's transformation from a tottering colonial economy based on extraction of precious bullion to a massive exporter of bulk goods like guano shows how a struggle between protectionists and free traders shaped the state. "This is an elegant and sophisticated book that can be read on many levels, written by an author who never takes the facile road. [Its] significance is great--not just for Peruvian history but for theoretical questions relating to dependency and economic history in nineteenth-century Latin America...Gootenberg has added a major new element to the dependency debate, one that is more intellectually satisfying than the sterile old argument about good guys and bad guys."--Timothy E. Anna, The Hispanic American Historical Review "[One] of the best books in recent years on Peruvian history, and a valuable contribution to nineteenth-century commercial and financial studies."--Michael J. Gonzales, Journal of Economic History "Fascinating reading. Gootenberg has taken the why of Latin American underdevelopment a step forward by unraveling complexities of the actual historical-economic forces...[This book] is perhaps the most thorough examination of exactly how those internal class and productive forces contributed to Peru's under-development."--Choice Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

This is a new view of cocaine's expansive history.Illuminating a hidden and fascinating chapter in the history of globalization, Paul Gootenberg chronicles the rise of one of the most spectacular and now illegal Latin American exports: cocaine.Gootenberg traces cocaine's history from its origins as a medical commodity in the nineteenth century to its repression during the early twentieth century and its dramatic reemergence as an illicit good after World War II. Connecting the story of the drug's transformations is a host of people, products, and processes: Sigmund Freud, Coca-Cola, and Pablo Escobar all make appearances, exemplifying the global influences that have shaped the history of cocaine. But Gootenberg decenters the familiar story to uncover the roles played by hitherto obscure but vital Andean actors as well - for example, the Peruvian pharmacist who developed the techniques for refining cocaine on an industrial scale and the creators of the original drug-smuggling networks that decades later would be taken over by Colombian traffickers.Andean Cocaine proves indispensable to understanding one of the most vexing social dilemmas of the late twentieth-century Americas: the American cocaine epidemic of the 1980s and, in its wake, the seemingly endless U. S. drug war in the Andes.

Since the earliest years of European colonialism, Latin America has been a region of seemingly intractable inequalities, marked by a stark divide between the haves and the have-nots. This collection illuminates the diverse processes that have combined to produce and reproduce inequalities in Latin America, as well as some of the implications of those processes for North Americans. Anthropologists, cultural critics, historians, and political scientists from North and South America offer new and varied perspectives, building on the sociologist Charles Tilly’s relational framework for understanding enduring inequalities. While one essay is a broad yet nuanced analysis of Latin American inequality and its persistence, another is a fine-grained ethnographic view of everyday life and aspirations among shantytown residents living on the outskirts of Lima. Other essays address topics such as the initial bifurcation of Peru’s healthcare system into one for urban workers and another for the rural poor, the asymmetrical distribution of political information in Brazil, and an evolving Cuban “aesthetics of inequality,” which incorporates hip-hop and other transnational cultural currents. Exploring the dilemmas of Latin American inequalities as they are playing out in the United States, a contributor looks at new immigrant Mexican farmworkers in upstate New York to show how undocumented workers become a vulnerable rural underclass. Taken together, the essays extend social inequality critiques in important new directions.ContributorsJeanine AndersonJavier AuyeroOdette CasamayorChristina EwigPaul GootenbergMargaret GrayEric HershbergLucio RennoLuis Reygadas

"Pocos peruanos conocen el rol histórico del Perú como lugarde origen de la cocaína global, legal o no. Hecho en el Perú.Ensayos históricos sobre la cocaína es una colección de textos delrenombrado historiador norteamericano Paul Gootenberg queapuntan a superar este desconocimiento o negación.Los ocho ensayos de Hecho en el Perú, publicados entre 2003 y2012, exploran una amplia variedad de temas, aunque juntos aportanuna compleja perspectiva histórica sobre la coca y la cocaínaperuanas, y analizan cómo las condiciones locales del Perú y desus actores se entrecruzan activamente con fuerzas globales ypolíticas en la elaboración de la cocaína moderna. Los peruanoscontribuyeron a inventar la cocaína como una mercancía global ytambién, durante las décadas de 1940 a 1970, contribuyeron a sucreación como un producto ilegal. Buena parte de este libro concierneal Perú y está basado en fuentes peruanas, por lo que cubreun enorme vacío histórico, al ser la única historia de la cocaínaperuana en la actualidad. Debido a este retorno del Perú como elcentro de la cocaína mundial, Hecho en el Perú está llamado a concitar,en los próximos"

De lectura obligada tanto para académicos como para diseñadores de políticas públicas, Los orígenes de la cocaína proporciona evidencia importante que apunta a la necesidad de replantear las estrategias que han fallado en el intento de reducir la oferta de cocaína y más bien promover un desarrollo a largo plazo, equitativo y medioambientalmente sostenible, en las regiones más pobres de los Andes.Coletta A. Youngers, Oficina en Washington para Asuntos Latinoamericanos (WOLA) En los años sesenta del siglo xx, los gobiernos de Colombia, Perú y Bolivia lanzaron en cada país programas de asentamiento agrícola en las tierras bajas de la vasta frontera amazónica. Dos décadas más tarde, estas mismas zonas se habían transformado en los centros de producción de cocaína de las Américas. Con base en conceptos históricos y antropológicos, Los orígenes de la cocaína explora cómo estos tres países han tenido resultados paralelos en cuanto a economías ilícitas fronterizas y culturas cocaleras, a pesar de que para mediados del siglo tenían trayectorias políticas divergentes. Mediante la combinación de análisis transnacionales, nacionales y locales, a lo largo de estas páginas se examina en profundidad los orígenes de la economía de las drogas ilícitas en el continente. Al ser el primer estudio importante sobre el viraje de la colonización agraria a la narcotización, Los orígenes de la cocaína es de interés tanto para especialistas como para estudiantes de posgrado de historia, antropología, desarrollo y estudios medioambientales de América Latina.
