Reviews
'An incisive ethnography exploring and explaining the hidden worlds of young heroin users.'Howard Parker, University of Manchester, author of Living with Heroin and Illegal Leisure 'This pathbreaking ethnographic study examines all sides of a subculture of heroin users in a Swedish town - becoming a heroin user, functioning in the subculture, and dealing with the police. While the users may be provincial in their situation, Lalander shows how, through identifying with and living out stories from the media, they feel themselves part of a global culture.'Robin Room, Professor at Stockholm University and Director of SoRAD 'Lalander clearly established considerable trust and rapport with his informants and Hooked on Heroin provides rare insights into their world, reminding us that local lives, even shitty ones, take thier cues from global cultures.'Society for the Study of Addiction 'Let there be no doubt: Philip Lalander has written an important book.'Young
