Plague and intoxicants in the Baltic and North Seas during the long seventeenth century
The article argues that medical responses to plague were a cause of the ‘psychoactive revolution’ during the long seventeenth century. Focusing on four metropoles in the Baltic and North Sea region, it shows that the commodification of sugar, opiates and tobacco during the last century of the Second Great Pandemic correlates both with outbreaks of plague in Amsterdam, Hamburg, London and Stockholm and with the intra-regional prescription of these…

Normalisation and Ambivalence
This article questions the normalisation of tobacco use in the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic. The investigation shows that our present cultural ambivalence towards the intoxicant goes back to tobacco’s early introduction. The integration of tobacco use as an essential element in social rituals was situated on a line from general acceptance to social deviance. Tobacco use was successfully integrated in existing settings of alcohol use. Howeve…

Leprosy and the Colonial Gaze
This article is looking at colonial governance with regard to leprosy, comparing two settings of the Dutch colonial empire: Suriname and the Dutch East Indies. Whereas segregation became formal policy in Suriname, leprosy sufferers were hardly ever segregated in the Dutch East Indies. We argue that the perceived needs to maintain a healthy labour force and to prevent contamination of white populations were the driving forces behind the difference…
Leprosy and Colonialism
Leprosy and colonialism investigates the history of leprosy in the colony of Suriname in the Dutch Caribbean within the context of colonial power and racial conflict - from the plantation economy and the age of slavery to its legacy in the modern colonial state. The book traces the origins of the modern stigmatization and exclusion of people affected with leprosy to the political tensions and racial fears of colonial slave society, tensions exert…
Managing Double Binds in the Pharmaceutical Prescription Market
The epidemic of serious drug safety problems (e.g., Seroxat/Paxil [paroxetine], Vioxx [rofecoxib], Redux [dexfenfluramide] or Ambien [zolpidem]) in the first decade of the twenty-first century has led to public debate on the integrity of the pharmaceutical industry and the effectiveness of drug regulation (Healy, 2004; Moynihan & Cassels, 2005; Anonymous, 2005; Committee on the assessment of the US drug safety system, 2006; Pray, 2007).1 To impro…

Voluntary Action and Illegal Drugs
In their book Voluntary Action and Illegal Drugs, two historians of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Alex Mold and Virginia Berridge, attempt to deepen our understanding of the development of the ‘third sector’ in British society, next to the state and the market: the sector of voluntary service. This surely is a topic relevant for the present day. Voluntary organizations have massively increased in Britain since the 1960s, to …

Dying to Get High
In August 1992 a helicopter, flying over the Santa Cruz area in California and funded by a state marijuana eradication grant, discovers five marijuana plants in the garden of Valerie and Michael Corral. The couple are arrested. Valerie claims that her use of the drug is a medical necessity: since a car accident almost 20 years before she uses with success the plant instead of pharmaceutical drugs to control her seizures. In the political and soci…
Alcoholism and Hereditary Health in Dutch Medical Discourse, 1900–45
Since the first constructions of alcoholism and drug addiction in the 19th century concepts of heredity have played an important role in framing substance use and abuse. In the linkage of alcoholism and drug addiction to themes of hereditary defects and biological and racial degeneration the often supposed dichotomy between “medical” and “moral” views of substance abuse was transcended. An analysis of alcoholism and hereditary health in Dutch med…
On Cannabis, Chloral Hydrate, and Career Cycles of Psychotrophic Drugs in Medicine
This article compares the careers of two psychotropic drugs in Western psychiatry, with a focus on the nineteenth century: Cannabis indica and chloral hydrate. They were used by doctors for similar indications, such as mania, delirium tremens, and what we would now call drug dependence. The two show similar career paths consisting of three phases: initial enthusiasm and therapeutic optimism; subsequent negative appraisal; and finally, limited use…
