Reviews
Psychiatrist and anthropologist Hansen, policy advocate and sociologist Netherland, and historian Herzberg richly scrutinise drug use and race along multiple axes that include medicine, public policy, and history to emerge with a powerful portrait of precisely how the social construct of race and systemic racism have both created and blinded us to the unequal treatment of Black and white drug users. Through anthropology, personal histories, and nuanced data analysis this troika engages in textured, deeply researched, scholarship., A thorough, incisive, and well researched book. . . . . As a history of the modern opioid crisis--from its origins in the nineteenth century to fentanyl today--you can't get much more complete.

Synopsis
The first critical analysis of how Whiteness drove the opioid crisis. In the past two decades, media images of the surprisingly white "new face" of the US opioid crisis abounded. But why was the crisis so white? Some argued that skyrocketing overdoses were "deaths of despair" signaling deeper socioeconomic anguish in white communities. Whiteout makes the counterintuitive case that the opioid crisis was the product of white racial privilege as well as despair. Anchored by interviews, data, and riveting firsthand narratives from three leading experts--an addiction psychiatrist, a policy advocate, and a drug historian-- Whiteout reveals how a century of structural racism in drug policy, and in profit-oriented medical industries led to mass white overdose deaths. The authors implicate racially segregated health care systems, the racial assumptions of addiction scientists, and relaxed regulation of pharmaceutical marketing to white consumers. Whiteout is an unflinching account of how racial capitalism is toxic for all Americans.

    Shipping was fast! However, before buying I tried to find out more about their listing - it said it included a "12" vinyl album with CD". Their reply simply repeated what the listing said - I wanted to know more about the CD that was included. Turns out it was a packaged deal - the CD was included inside the album jacket, no insert or track listing with the CD, which I would have liked to have had to match in storing like the rest of my CDs. It's a great value, but a little disappointing.

    Absolutely excellent experience! Item arrived very quickly, was packaged with great care, and was exactly as described—no surprises, just as promised. The value was fantastic for the quality, and everything matched the listing perfectly. Seller was communicative, friendly, and very professional throughout the entire process. One of the smoothest transactions I’ve had on eBay. Highly recommend and would definitely buy from this seller again without hesitation!
