Taming Cannabis: Drugs and Empire in Nineteenth-Century France
In this valuable book David Guba traces how ideas about cannabis use in Arabic and Muslim history affected, and continue to infect, perceptions about cannabis in France and indeed elsewhere. He argues that key myths, such as the idea that the order of the assassins originated from a cult of hashish-crazed acolytes of the ‘Old Man on the Mountain’ reappeared in various assessments of the value and effect of hashish on the mind of the user. The arg…
Lucas Richert, Strange Trips: Science, Culture, and the Regulation of Drugs
The numerous histories of drugs, be they medicinal, therapeutic or recreational, offer ample opportunity to explore the way perceptions of such substances change over time. Medical historians are well-aware of the story of opium, a valuable medicine and casual intoxicant that became imbued with associations of deviance while still functioning as an important therapeutic product. Cocaine followed a similar journey from a miracle cure to a dangerou…
Tracey L. Adams, Regulating Professions: The Emergence of Professional Self-Regulation in Four Canadian Provinces
Professions have been the subject of extended, deep and contentious interpretations in sociological and historical circles. Why do professions form? What is their relationship with the state and other professions? How can we understand the power, authority and reach of professions? In this new, deeply researched and well-argued book, Tracey Adams provides a valuable comparative examination of professions in four Canadian provinces with an eye to …

Sin City North: Sex, Drugs, and Citizenship in the Detroit-Windsor Borderland by Holly M. Karibo
Closing Time: Prohibition, Rum-Runners, and Border Wars, by Daniel Francis
One for the Road: Drunk Driving since 1900
Structured as a straightforward narrative of the growing awareness of, and attempts to reduce, drunk driving in the United States, this book is heavily polemical. It is an important story based on considerable evidence, but its moralistic tone weakens its argument about the challenges of imposing ideas of social responsibility in a culture of individuality. After an introduction that discusses the complexities of determining how much alcohol is t…
Try to Control Yourself: The Regulation of Public Drinking in Post-Prohibition Ontario, 1927–44
Countless authors, historians, journalists, and screenwriters have written about the prohibition era, an age of jazz and speakeasies, gangsters and bootleggers. But only a few have explored what happened when governments turned the taps back on. Dan Malleck shifts the focus to Ontario following repeal of the Ontario Temperance Act, an age when the government struggled to please both the "wets" and the "drys," the latter a powerful lobby that cont…
The Same as a Private Home? Social Clubs, Public Drinking, and Liquor Control in Ontario, 1934–1944
Along with regulating the sales of liquor in provincial stores, overseeing the manufacture of alcohol, and inspecting the public drinking establishments in the province, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario issued beverage licences to private clubs. This paper examines the challenges of regulating the activities of drinkers in semi-private spaces and asks how the lcbo applied the notion of public space to establishments that were not entirely publ…
The Meaning of Addiction in the Rubbing Alcohol Habit: The Rise and Fall of The Rubby
This paper problematizes historians’ use of the term “addiction” through an analysis of the perceived social problem posed by rubbing alcohol consumption in 1920s and 1930s Ontario, Canada. It suggests that the term was laden with more nuanced meaning than we might realize. Not all habitual alcohol consumption was suitable to be labelled “addiction.” In the case of the Rubby, addiction was an unnatrual compulsion that drove an individual to clear…

Leisure, Liquor and Control: Negotiating recreation in the beverage rooms of post‐prohibition Ontario, 1927–1939
Prior to the First World War, the saloon had been the traditional site of the blending of alcohol consumption and other leisure activities, much to the dismay of temperance and rational recreation reformers. Theoretically, by banishing the saloon, legislated prohibition severed that connection, creating the opportunity for the relationship between drinking and other leisure activities to be reconceptualised. The end of prohibition in Ontario, Can…
