Opponents of opium had long struggled to rein in the profitable drug. Opium's Long Shadow shows how diverse local protests crossed imperial, national, and colonial boundaries to gain traction globally and harness public opinion as a moral deterrent in international politics after World War I. Steffen Rimner traces the far-flung itineraries and trenchant arguments of reformers--significantly, feminists and journalists--who viewed opium addiction as a root cause of poverty, famine, "white slavery," and moral degradation. These activists targeted the international reputation of drug-trading governments, first and foremost Great Britain, British India, and Japan, becoming pioneers of the global political tactic we today call naming and shaming. But rather than taking sole responsibility for their own behavior, states in turn appropriated anti-drug criticism to shame fellow sovereigns around the globe. Consequently, participation in drug control became a prerequisite for membership in the twentieth-century international community.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000855866 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000855866 61020 $$aLeague of Nations.$$bAdvisory Committee on Traffic in Opium and Other Dangerous Drugs. 000855866 650_0 $$aOpium trade$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000855866 650_0 $$aDrug control$$xInternational cooperation$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000855866 650_0 $$aSocial reformers$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000855866 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRimner, Steffen, 1983-$$tOpium's long shadow.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2018$$z9780674976306$$w(DLC) 2018012858$$w(OCoLC)1028623902 000855866 852__ $$bcoll 000855866 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000855866 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1896404$$zOnline Access 000855866 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:855866$$pGLOBAL_SET 000855866 980__ $$aEBOOK 000855866 980__ $$aBIB 000855866 982__ $$aEbook 000855866 983__ $$aOnline 000855866 994__ $$a92$$bISE
