The opium debate and Chinese exclusion laws in the nineteenth-century American West
"The Opium Debate and Chinese Exclusion Laws in the Nineteenth-Century American West examines how the spread of opium-smoking and its culture fueled anti-Chinese propaganda and demands for the exclusion of the Chinese from American life. This meticulously researched study of the nineteenth-century American drug-abuse crisis reveals the ways moral crusaders linked their anti-opium rhetoric to already active demands for Chinese exclusion."--Jacket
