Reviews
While most people struggle to get out of rehab, Allison McKim fought her way in to study it-- and came out with a brilliant, nuanced, fascinating, and original account of the different ways addiction is defined and addressed in the contemporary U.S. This is a critical contribution to our understandings of drugs, criminal justice, and the gender politics of mass incarceration. --Lynne Haney New York University
<i>Addicted to Rehab</i>is an important and timely contribution to the literature on mass incarceration, drug treatment, and social inequality.McKim provides crucial insight into these realms through her spectacular and engaging research. --Jill McCorkel author of Breaking Women: Gender, Race, and the New Politics of Imprisonment
The writing is clear, engaging, and accessible. I can see the book working in undergraduate medical sociology and criminology courses as well as in more advanced courses for professionals working in the substance abuse field. The author does a superb job of bringing the staff and residents of both facilities to life. She has a strong eye for the material surroundings and a strong ear for the nuances and tones of conversations --Susan Sered Gender and Society While most people struggle to get out of rehab, Allison McKim fought her way in to study it-- and came out with a brilliant, nuanced, fascinating, and original account of the different ways addiction is defined and addressed in the contemporary U.S. This is a critical contribution to our understandings of drugs, criminal justice, and the gender politics of mass incarceration. --Lynne Haney New York University Addicted to Rehab is an important and timely contribution to the literature on mass incarceration, drug treatment, and social inequality.
