Description and Table of Contents
Description
Incorporating elements of literary criticism, cultural studies, and social history, 'Pleasures and Pains' takes a new look at the complicated dynamics of empire as well as the development of still-prevalent perceptions of drugs as alien invaders responsible for the decay of national character.
