Description
Hardcover: 272 pages By S. Fraser, D. Moore and H. Keane Tracing the remaking of addiction in contemporary Western societies, this book draws on ethnographic research, interviews and media and policy texts to explore what is at stake in its ongoing production. The concept of addiction raises fundamental questions about us, our social arrangements and our political preoccupations. This book examines how addiction is being redefined and reimagined in the context of Western societies. Through a critical analysis of these changes, Habits: Remaking Addiction sheds light on the complex relationships between addiction, power, and policy.
