Focuses on crack cocaine. In reinterpreting the crack story, this book offers fresh understandings of both drug addiction and drug prohibition. It shows how crack use arose in the face of growing unemployment, poverty, racism, and shrinking social services. It examines the crack scare as a phenomenon in its own right.
