  • Sex Testing

    University of Illinois Press Sex Testing

    Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2016 "Sex Testing is the first comprehensive account of the various sex and gender tests that sports authorities have devised from the 1930s on for female athletes. It offers great documentation of significant developments, well-written throughout, accompanied by incisive, penetrating insights as to what is going on below the surface in the world of women's sports. It is a stellar, informative read that public libraries should acquire. It is certainly, above all, a scholarly resource that colleges and universities should purchase."--ARETE, publication of the Sport Literature Association."Sociology of gender scholars will find the book of interest given its historical evidence of the ways in which sex testing reflected 'larger cultural perceptions of womanhood' in the twentieth century."--Gender and Society"Pieper's well-written and carefully crafted narrative and analysis provides enormous insight into a topic previously unexplored at such depth."--Sport History Review"Pieper does an exceptional job of detailing the history and methods of sex/gender testing and of connecting the phenomenon to larger sociological issues about appropriate physical activity for women. . . . Essential."--Choice"Chock full of terrific research from primary sources. . . . Pieper's message comes through loud and clear: sex testing is a political act. It is about enforcing gender norms, not ensuring fair play."--Women's Review of Books"Pieper takes on the complex and infinitely important topic of sex testing in women's sport with fresh insight and a measured hand. In the process, she deftly unpacks how attempts to 'control' sex are continually fraught with elements of sexism, gender anxieties, and geopolitical tensions. This is an enlightening and necessarily disturbing analysis."--Jaime Schultz, author of Qualifying Times: Points of Change in U.S. Women's Sport"For the first time, someone is pulling together the complete history of sex testing in sport. A very important book that makes a significant and unique contribution."--Alison M. Wrynn, former editor, Journal of Sports History"A timely and important book, the first in-depth history of its kind. Rich in detail and thorough in research, it is a must read for understanding the multiple layers of politics and ideology that inform gender policing in sport."--Kathryn Henne, author of Testing for Athlete Citizenship: Regulating Doping and Sex in Sport

    Book SynopsisTakes readers into the ritualized world of mainstream American addiction treatment. This book explores the puzzling question: why do addiction counselors dedicate themselves to reconciling drug users' relationship to language in order to reconfigure their relationship to drugs?Trade ReviewWinner of the 2012 Edward Sapir Book Prize, Society for Linguistic Anthropology "[A] fresh and thought-provoking perspective on the interaction between addiction professionals and their clients. [Scripting Addiction] is also a remarkable window onto American personhood in general. It shows in unusually precise terms how this personhood is produced by linguistic interactions that shape the institutions in which they occur."--Lorna Rhodes, Social Service Review "In simplest terms, this book can be read as an ethnographic description of a mandated outpatient drug-treatment program for homeless women. In another sense, it includes a brief history of changing views toward social work in the US since the 1950s. Although not explicitly organized as such, it is also a thoughtful, critical commentary on the rationale, methods, and efficacy of such treatment."--Choice "Summerson Carr's focus on linguistic practices is a refreshing approach to studying welfare, addiction, and therapy, exposing the way language gets nudged around to yield things that resemble palatable truths."--Chantal Butchinsky, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "The added value of this ethnography lies in its uncovering of the profound impact of ideological assumptions about language and of ideology in language on everyday institutional practices and, ultimately, the everyday lives of clients by providing a detailed account of institutional practices in mainstream American addiction treatment."--Karen Mogendorff, Social Anthropology "There is much to like about this intriguing and subtly argued book. Its human interest and drama, as the story of Rhonda and Louise suggests, is not the least of it. I came away from the detailed scenes of interviews and board meetings impressed with Carr's intelligence and thoughtfulness as an ethnographer. Readers can get a vivid sense of both clients and staff. Best of all is how concrete this study is... Carr's evidence and analysis are clear. She reveals a living language, whose flow she traces from intake interviews, to therapy sessions, to client case meetings, to board rooms."--Stephanie Muravchik, Society "Scripting Addiction screams with many voices that there is no neutral language (Bakhtin, 1984). Therefore, it is a powerful call to better realize what is happening in and through language at sites all around us that carry huge potential to either serve humankind, or cause suffering. It is an important and well-articulated call."--Mark A.

  • Creating the American Junkie

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisBy 1940, Acker concludes, a particular configuration of ideas about opiate addiction was firmly in place and remained essentially stable until the enormous demographic changes in drug use of the 1960s and 1970s prompted changes in the understanding of addiction-and in public policy.Trade ReviewA well-written and thoughtful book... Acker presents a fascinating account of how addicts' negative image came to dominate public and official perceptions, as well as how it forced some users into the mold. Her careful analysis of research findings will make this book of interest to historians, drug-abuse workers, and anyone else who wants to examine the origins of American drug policy. -- David F. Musto, M.D. New England Journal of Medicine Fascinating... A compelling journey through drug-addiction history... This book lays a firm foundation for re-evaluating our approach to the study of addiction. -- George F. Koob Nature Medicine Draws on familiar themes to create a novel and compelling portrait of the times. -- Jim Baumohl Journal of American History This book makes its most original contribution by probing the intersecting interests of professionals and policy makers who believed in managing the drug problem through a self-conscious combination of legal control and scientific knowledge... Acker's history of drug policy and science during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century illustrates the recent guise of an old social divide between deserving and undeserving Americans. -- Ellen Herman American Historical Review A thorough and compelling survey. -- Mike Jay Medical History A fine book, convincingly arguing its central points, and in the process concisely making a significant original contribution to an intensely studied field. -- Nicolas Rasmussen Metascience A critical text for scholars and policy makers alike that underscores the importance of interdisciplinary approaches to developing anything approaching an accurate model of substance-dependence and humane policies for dealing with people dependent on opiates. -- Robin Pappas Metapsychology While harm reduction supporters will find this book validating, readers do not need to subscribe to this particular drug policy alternative to find Dr. Acker's book to be filled with fascinating stories about the people and the ideas which have shaped today's ptiched battles in the drug policy wars. -- Robert L. DuPont, M.D. JAMA 2003 Provides an excellent foundation for understanding not only the prevailing attitudes of the day but also the influence of those attitudes on current policy and theories of addiction. -- Chris Stewart Criminal Justice Review 2005Table of ContentsContents: Introduction 1 Heroin Addiction and Urban Vice Reform 2 The Opportunistic Approach 3 The Technological Fix: The Search for a Nonaddicting Analgesic 4 Constructing the Addict Career 5 The Junkie as Psychopath 6 Healing Vision and Bureaucratic Reality 7 The Addict in the Social Body Conclusion Notes Acknowledgments Index

  • Harm Reduction in Substance Use and HighRisk

    John Wiley and Sons Ltd Harm Reduction in Substance Use and HighRisk

    Book SynopsisHarm Reduction is a philosophy of public health intended as a progressive alternative to the prohibition of certain potentially dangerous lifestyle choices. Recognising that certain people always have and always will engage in behaviours which carry risks, the aim of harm reduction is to mitigate the potential dangers and health risks associated with those behaviours. Harm Reduction in Substance Use and High-Risk Behaviour offers a comprehensive exploration of the policy, practice and evidence base of harm reduction. Starting with a history of harm reduction, the book addresses key ethical and legal issues central to the debates and developments in the field. It discusses the full range of psychoactive substances, behaviours and communities with chapters on injecting, dance drugs, stimulant use, tobacco harm reduction, alcohol use and sex work. Written by an international team of contributors, this text provides an essential panorama of harm reduction in the 21Trade Review“Overall this book is a very good read for those interested in addiction issues and could be used as an excellent reference book for future policy making in harm reduction.” (Irish Journal of Psychological Medicine, 1 October 2013) Taken overall in the context of its strengths and shortcomings, and as one of the few textbooks of its kind, it is a welcome resource for the field of harm reduction. We would recommend this book to those unfamiliar with the discipline, particularly individuals entering academia and those interested in advocacy and policy. Many sections can be read as stand-alone pieces, to help the reader develop an understanding of fundamental concepts before delving further into research. It is especially valuable if one is interested in harm reduction with respect to the UK contex.” (Drug & Alcohol Review, 15 September 2013) Table of ContentsForeword ix List of Figures and Tables xi List of Contributors xii Section I: Background 1 1 Introduction 3Diane Riley and Richard Pates 2 A Brief History of Harm Reduction 5Diane Riley, Richard Pates, Geoffrey Monaghan and Patrick O’Hare 3 Drug Education or Drug Propaganda? 17Julian Cohen Section II: Policy 31 4 Harm Reduction and International Law: Drug Control vs. Human Rights 33Richard Elliott 5 A Brief, Personal History of Harm Reduction Advocacy 49Dave Burrows 6 Harm Reduction and the Role of Police Services 59Geoffrey Monaghan 7 Harm Reduction in Prisons and Other Places of Detention 77Ralf Jurgens 8 International Security and the Global War on Drugs: The Tragic Irony of Drug Securitisation 101Danny Kushlick 9 The Ethics of Harm Reduction 111Adrian Carter, Peter G.

Law Crime and History“This is a significant and original work which synthesises a comprehensive grasp of the legal history of alcohol in England with a sensitive application of the relatively new conceptual framework of moral regulation and thus reshapes our understanding of the complex of factors shaping past and present control of alcohol consumption.” Professor Charles Critcher, Sheffield Hallam University"This engaging text is a `must-read’ for anyone interested in moral panics, and should be read widely by anyone interested more broadly in the medicalisation of society and its problems, or in the practice of `legislating for one’s own good’. It is an important and timely study, and should be widely read." Dr Judith Rowbotham, Director, SOLON, and Associate Research Fellow, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, University of London"In his historical account, Yeomans teases apart the actual threat posed by alcohol consumption versus what has been portrayed to date and the levels of public anxiety about it. His work provides deep background and encourages readers to reflect on and question dominant alarmist narratives perpetuated in the media. This book is an integral starting point for any reader interested in a critical analysis of British media portrayal of public attitudes towards alcohol. More specifically, it would appeal to an interdisciplinary audience (sociologists, media scholars, historians, legal scholars etc.) interested in a historical approach to alcohol studies." Sociology of Health & Illness"Yeomans' thought-provoking book explores how laws and beliefs regarding alcohol evolved in Britain. The historical analysis is useful for contextualizing present-day debates about alcohol-related issues." -Tiffany Bergin, Kent State University, USATable of ContentsThinking about drinking; Temperance and teetotalism; Balancing act or spirited measures?; The apogee of the temperance movement; An age of permissiveness; Alcohol, crime and disorder; Health, harm and risk; Conclusion: spirited measures and Victorian hangovers.

    Book SynopsisYou know just how serious a problem alcoholism has become for our country. Frankly speaking, it has taken on the proportions of a national disaster. So spoke Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009 as the government launched its latest anti-alcohol campaign. Challenging the standard narrative of top-down implementation of policy, Anna Bailey's Politics under the Influence breaks new ground in the analysis of Russian alcoholism and the politics of the Putin regime.The state is supposed to make policy in the national interest, to preserve the nation's health against the ravages inflicted by widespread alcohol abuse. In fact, Bailey shows, the Russian state is deeply divided, and policy is commonly a result of the competitive interactions of stakeholders with vested interests. Politics under the Influence turns a spotlight on the powerful vodka industry whose ties to Putin's political elite have grown in influence since 2009. She details how that lobby has used tTrade ReviewThis is a well-constructed, detailed study of recent governmental action regarding alcohol in Russia with relevance for political scientists, public health researchers, historians, and policymakers. Bailey does an excellent job, using a vast array of sources woven together in convincing narratives, of bringing illumination to the "black box" of public policy construction under Putin. * The Russian Review *In this detailed analysis of the Russian state's ambivalent attitude toward vodka, Anna Bailey argues that excessive alcohol consumption has plagued Russian society for centuries. * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *This is a well-researched, useful and practical analysis of a problem which has beset Russia for centuries: how to control the Russian love of alcohol—given its highly negative effect on public order and the country's demographic situation—without significantly endangering the income that it produces in the form of (paid) taxes that contribute to the country's economic and social development? * Europe-Asia Studies *Table of ContentsIntroduction: The Contradictions of Alcohol Policy 1.

    Book SynopsisAgainst the backdrop of a post-Soviet state set aflame by geopolitical conflict and violent revolution, Narkomania considers whether substance use disorders are everywhere the same and whether our responses to drug use presuppose what kind of people those who use drugs really are. Jennifer J. Carroll''s ethnography is a story about public health and international efforts to quell the spread of HIV. Carroll focuses on Ukraine where the prevalence of HIV among people who use drugs is higher than in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and unpacks the arguments and myths surrounding medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Ukraine. What she presents in Narkomania forces us to question drug policy, its uses, and its effects on normal citizens.Carroll uses her findings to explore what people who use drugs can teach us about the contemporary societies emerging in post-Soviet space. With examples of how MAT has been politicized, how drug use has been tied to ideas of good citizenTrade ReviewViolence and war are inevitably entangled with public health crises. Jennifer Carroll's book vividly shows how those crises are made even worse when unfounded assumptions lead to the condemnation of certain groups * Current History *Carroll efficiently explores how the term addiction allows for all kinds of contradictory and composite meanings. * The Lancet *Jennifer Carroll has done a magistral job in helping the rest of us understand the global and local processes that have produced the current predicament of Ukrainian injecting drug users. The single most cautionary aspect of this book lies in its warning against the use of dismissive presence in society. * Medical Anthropology Quarterly *Narkomania is an important contribution to the field of medical anthropology, but the author's unique perspective and extensive fieldwork make it relevant across Ukrainian studies. Carroll creates a tapestry in which drug use and addiction are seamlessly interwoven with political changes that are resonant far beyond Ukraine's borders. * Harvard Ukrainian Studies *This book is a novel, poignant, and sincere contribution to anthropology and to Ukrainian studies. It will make a thought-provoking read for anyone researching or interested in contemporary Ukraine and its vulnerable population, including students, policymakers, and government employees. * Anthropologica *

    University of Massachusetts Press Altering American Consciousness: The History of

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisVirtually every American alive has at some point consumed at least one, and very likely more, consciousness altering drug. Even those who actively eschew alcohol, tobacco, and coffee cannot easily avoid the full range of psychoactive substances pervading the culture. If the use of drugs is a constant in American history, the way they have been perceived has varied extensively. Just as the corrupting cigarettes of the early-20th century became the glamorous accessory of Hollywood stars and American GIs in the 1940s, only to fall into public disfavour later as an unhealthy and irresponsible habit, the social significance of every drug changes over time. This work shows how the identity of any psychoactive substance owes as much to its users, their patterns of use, and the cultural context in which the drug is taken, as it owes to the drug's documented physiological effects. Rather than seeing licit drugs and illicit drugs, recreational drugs and medicinal drugs, ""hard"" drugs and ""soft"" drugs as mutually exclusive categories, it challenges readers to consider the ways in which drugs have shifted historically from one category to another.

    Book SynopsisThis open access book explores the increasing role of psychoactive substances in contemporary everyday life, focussing on women's use. Drawing on an ethnographic study in Sweden, it uses cultural studies and queer phenomenology to analyse the women’s narratives of drug use relating to themes that encompass social, legal, cultural, embodied and gendered perspectives on drugs in the contemporary Western world. It examines topics such as stigma, happiness, children, the body, gifts, the drug market, medication, sickness and health and also the orientation of themselves towards others, to social and cultural norms, to drug laws and to the substances. It discusses how drug related spaces and directions be analysed in terms of gender and class, and how, in turn, the directions of contemporary society and culture can be affected by drug use. It speaks to academics in Sociology, Criminology, Ethnology, Gender studies, Law and History.Table of Contents1. Introduction.- 2.

    Book SynopsisThis publication contains information about the licit movement of the internationally controlled narcotic drugs included in the Schedules of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. This includes information on cultivation of opiate raw materials, on extraction of alkaloids from opium, poppy straw and concentrate of poppy straw; on the manufacture of consumption, utilization, and stocks of opiates and opioids; and international global trade in narcotic drugs as well as in individual countries/territories. The publication also contains the estimated requirements of narcotic drugs for each country and territory.Le préambule de la Convention unique de 1961 souligne la préoccupation des États pour la santé et le bien-être de l'humanité. Cette affirmation fondamentale est suivie par la reconnaissance de l'usage médical des stupéfiants et de leur rôle indispensable dans le soulagement de la douleur, ce dont les pays ont besoin pour assurer la disponibilité et prendre des dispositions adéquates. Ces principes ont été réaffirmés dans la Convention sur les substances psychotropes de 1971, dans laquelle il a été ajouté que, s'il était nécessaire de limiter l'utilisation de substances contrôlées à des fins légitimes, leur disponibilité n'aurait pas dû être restreinte indûment. Près de soixante ans après cette proclamation officielle, l'objectif de garantie de la disponibilité n'est toujours pas atteint dans de nombreux pays où des personnes souffrent encore ou meurent de douleur ou n'ont pas accès aux médicaments dont elles ont besoin. Le déséquilibre dans la disponibilité des analgésiques opioïdes est particulièrement préoccupant, car les données montrent que de nombreuses affections nécessitant une prise en charge de la douleur, notamment le cancer, prévalent et augmentent dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire.El preámbulo de la Convención Única de 1961 destaca la preocupación de los Estados por la salud y el bienestar de la humanidad. Esta afirmación fundamental es seguida por el reconocimiento del uso médico de los estupefacientes y su papel indispensable en el alivio del dolor para el cual los países necesitan asegurar la disponibilidad y proporcionar la provisión adecuada. Estos principios se reafirmaron en el Convenio sobre Sustancias Psicotrópicas de 1971 en el que se agregó que, si bien era necesario restringir el uso de sustancias controladas a fines legítimos, su disponibilidad no debería haberse restringido indebidamente. Después de casi sesenta años desde la proclamación oficial, el objetivo de asegurar la disponibilidad aún es difícil de alcanzar en muchos países donde las personas aún sufren o mueren de dolor o no tienen acceso a los medicamentos que necesitan. El desequilibrio en la disponibilidad de analgésicos opioides es particularmente preocupante, ya que los datos muestran que muchas de las afecciones que requieren manejo del dolor, en particular el cáncer, son prevalentes y aumentan en los países de ingresos bajos y medios.
