Altering Amer Consciousness by Sarah W. Tracy, Sarah W. Tracy (Editor)

The Journal of American History

"A volume that goes a long way toward mapping out the new landscape of drug and alcohol history."

The Journal of the History of Medicine

"This delightful volume represents a careful admixture of skillfully edited, high-quality, and richly documented contributions to the analytic history of American experiences with alcohol and drugs. The cope of the collection is expansive. Unlike many conference-based volumes, this one succeeds in getting the authors to engage with each other in ways that build coherence and resonance."

The Annuals of Iowa

"This is a valuable and much needed collection. Tracy and Acker have done their job well. . . . This volume is an unmatched guide both to the ideas central to the field and to its cutting edge."

Criminal Justice Review

This edited volume started life as a set of conference papers, delivered in 1997, on the subject of the history of drug use in American society. Out of this has grown a book that aims to sweep across the geography and the history of American to offer an informed view of changing attitudes and responses to drug use. . . . this is a readable and enjoyable text.
