The South American coca plant was established in 19th-century Britain as a medical product before it became a globally restricted drug. Drawing on botanical economic pharmaceutical social and political perspectives Kim Embrey analyses how the use and perception of coca changed as it was transferred to Europe. In a process of "cultural dissimilation" coca was not simply adopted but embedded into new medical social and scientific contexts. The study shows how a plant from the Andes was repositioned in British modernity.
