Description

Book Synopsis
Presents a study of the creation of youth drug culture in Hamburg during the 1960s and 1970s and an exploration of the paradoxes of modernization. Placing Hamburg's drug scene within national and international contexts, this book examines the ways in which mass consumerism created complicated forms of resistance to state power and cultural norms.

Trade Review
Germans on Drugs covers all aspects of the topic: production, distribution, consumption, practices of social agencies, public discourse, and governmental action. The book presents a vast amount of new insight into a subject that has never before been analyzed systematically. This will be an important contribution to the history of the consumer society in the 20th century. - Detlef Siegfried, Faculty of the Humanities, University of Copenhagen
