Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book confronts common misunderstandings and harmful allegations about opium use in 19th century China, drawing from the author's firsthand experience as a solicitor in Hong Kong and their deep understanding of the subject. The author dismantles the false equivalency between opium use and other harmful drugs like alcohol and tobacco, dispelling the myth that opium is a uniquely dangerous or destructive substance. Through historical analysis and personal anecdotes, the author reveals the political motivations behind the anti-opium movement, particularly the role of Christian missionaries in perpetuating these harmful falsehoods to further their own goals. Grounding their argument in the actual experiences of Chinese opium users, the author challenges the prevailing narrative that opium is a corrupting influence, instead arguing that it is a relatively harmless practice that has been unfairly vilified. This book offers a valuable corrective to the widespread misinformation surrounding opium use, and provides a more nuanced and accurate understanding of its history and impact in China. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282635176_0
