The Guardian has a book review of Marcus Boon, "The Road of Excess. A History of Writers on Drugs", Harvard 2002. It is not devoted to anthropologists, it's rather about all kinds of writers on drugs, also from science. But as cultural anthropology is undoubtly still a science, where some fieldwork was done under the influence of drugs, (I remember Malinowski, and also Johannes Fabian proved it (Im Tropenfieber. Beck, 2001)), this book could give an interesting additional view on the history of writers on drugs. Yet more, as it seems to stay without opinion if this is a good or a bad thing.
