It traces the opium industry from the British annexation of the Burmese territories of Arakan and Tenasserim in 1826 to the end of the colonial era, arguing that this connection was multi-dimensional. The British regime regulated opium to facilitate labour extraction, and the articulation of a rationale for opium policy was inextricable from the articulation of a rationale for colonial rule more generally. Evolving discourses about race invoked opium consumption. Finally, Burma's position in multiple transnational and imperial networks informed its colonial opium policy"--Ashley WrightIncludes bibliographical referencesThe Fashioning of Opium Policy in Arakan and Tenasserim -- Regulating opium in British Burma, 1852-1885 -- Race and the regulation of consumption in colonial Burma -- Testimony about Burma at the Royal Commission on Opium -- The Royal Commission and the rationale for opium policy -- The age of international conferences, 1895-1914 -- Burma, The League of Nations, and opium policy networks -- Separation, negotiation and drug diplomacy: 1935-1939 -- Epilogue -- Conclusion -- AppendixGroßbritannienBirmaOpiumwirtschaftGeschichte 1826-1939BVBBV041578347978-0-230-29646-60-230-29646-7HT018293765Cambridge imperial and post-colonial studies series61hisj858.b9622014061320140627132155301 https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D132155301+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/53747 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/53747/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/53747
