Chilling out
Auteur : BLACKMAN
- How are drug war politics, drug prevention, popular culture and drug consumption interconnected?
- What are the major contradictions, assumptions and silences within the moral arguments of drug policy makers?
- What are the implications for the viability of drugs policy?
Chilling Out provides a critical map of drugs, bringing together work on drugs as a source of political state repression and regulation of morality through medical discourse, work on drugs as cultural commodities in film, popular music, advertising and tourism, work on `drug normalisation¿, subcultural deviance and the politics of drug education.
This clear and enlightening text for sociology, health and media and cultural studies courses argues for an holistic and a critical understanding of drugs in society, which can be the basis for a more coherent approach to drug control. Practitioners and policy makers will find it a thought-provoking and informative source.
