Summary

"For the first two decades of the new millennium, media images of the White "new face" of the US opioid crisis abounded. Yet, the whiteness of opioids is not new; it stems from a century of structural racism in drug policy. Whiteout is the first critical analysis of the whiteness of the opioid crisis. Anchored in riveting first-hand narratives from three leading drug scholars-an anthropologist-physician, a policy analyst, and a drug historian-it updates theories of racial capitalism to reveal how biotechnological industries are driven by White consumption in ways that are toxic for White and non-White Americans alike"--, Provided by publisher
