Crack in America is the definitive book on crack cocaine. In reinterpreting the crack story, it offers new understandings of each drug addiction and drug prohibition. It reveals how crack use arose in the face of rising unemployment, poverty, racism, and shrinking social services. It locations crack in its historic context--as the latest in an extended line of demonized medicine--and it examines the crack scare as a phenomenon in its personal right. Most vital, it makes use of crack and the crack scare as windows onto America's larger drug and drug policy problems.
