PARTIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY
This bibliography is partial and very
idiosyncratic. You must conduct your own
bibliographic search to find works appropriate to your project. The sources
included below are in English (with a few exceptions). If you can work in a
language other than English, your available source is much richer; I encourage
you to take advantage of that possibility.
The format of this bibliography is very informal.
You cannot use it as a guide to the bibliography of your papers. For your
papers, you will need full bibliographic citations, properly formatted. See Turabian, A Guide for
Writers of Term Papers, or other writing manuals.
I have not indicated whether these are primary or
secondary sources. You should make that determination, based on how you use
your sources. (See Storey, Writing History.) If you remain in doubt, see me – bringing
the sources with you.
Most of the sources that I have indicated are
printed documents. Remember that other media, such as photographs videos (for
modern topics) and other art forms, can serve some purposes very well.
Following these Notes and General
Sources of this partial bibliography, you will find sections organized by
some of the most commonly recognized addictive substances that we study in this
seminar: coffee, chocolate, coca/cocaine, opium,
sugar, tea,
and tobacco.
International organizations, individual countries
and trade organizations publish wide ranging statistics on production,
trade (export and import), consumption and prices. Some of these data series
cover long time spans. You can use them for papers on economic history, to
trace the increasing usage of products, or other topics.
Governments often regulated addictive substances,
through trade regulations, production and quality standards, taxation. Government
debates, reprinted in official publication, on these issues can provide an
interesting insight on their acceptability. (For example, changing tax rates on
cigarettes may signal an increasing official discouragement of smoking or on
public health policies. Or, studying the debate about health warnings required
on cigarette packages may provide similar information.)
Local newspapers and popular journals offer an avenue to consider the ways in which the public
perceived substances over time. They are also useful for tracing public policy
debates. In addition to looking for articles on specific substances, you can
use advertisements (their nature, frequency, etc.) for this purpose.
Academic journals – such as medical journals – may provide useful historical
perspectives for topics that impinge upon the history of science and scientific
thought.
Many personal accounts – such as farm and
plantation account books, personal diaries and travel memoirs can provide
especially rich insight into cultural and personal features of life related to
these substances.
Also published bibliographies, organized by
topic or country, appearing as "stand-alone" reference publications
or as journal articles may direct you to additional sources.
You may want to try web-based research. Sites
offering historical documents, etc. are available. If you are working on a
topic situated in very recent history, the web may also serve as primary
research. Sites may also serve as a gateway to more material – such as http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer
offering a path to research on illegal drug use and policy. If you use these
sources, you must document them properly (as noted in standard reference
material on citations) and you must provide verification of the information you
find. (Verification is especially important if you draw from
"activist" sites – those promoting specific actions and policies.)
