Beskrivning
Hurt: Chronicles of the Drug War Generation weaves engaging first-person accounts of the lives of baby boomer drug users, including the author Miriam Boeri's own knowledge as the sister of a heroin addict. The compelling stories are set in historical context, from the cultural influence of sex, drugs, and rock n' roll to contemporary discourse that pegs drug addiction as a disease punished by incarceration. Boeri writes with penetrating insight and conscientious attention to the intersectionality of race, gender, and class as she analyzes the impact of an increasingly punitive War on Drugs on a hurting generation.

Recensioner i media

"While it is too late to prevent the myriad tragedies experienced by the 'drug war generation,' Hurt respectfully draws on such experiences to make important contributions to drug research, including an intriguing alternate framework for rebuilding once the war is done. In doing so, Hurt presents a fresh take on a continually pressing issue, and should be of broad interest to researchers, students, policymakers, and beyond."
