Description

This academic book examines the experiences of female heroin users in China during a period of rapid social and economic transformation. Based on intensive interviews with 131 female heroin users, the work explores how women's heroin addiction has developed within the context of China's economic reforms and open-door policy beginning in 1978. As heroin emerged as the dominant illicit drug in China's drug epidemic during the late 1980s and beyond, the number of female users increased significantly, yet their stories remained largely undocumented. This volume provides critical insight into the careers and lived experiences of these women, examining the social, economic and personal factors that shaped addiction patterns in a rapidly evolving society. Part of the Routledge Advances in Criminology series, this book contributes important sociological and anthropological perspectives to understanding drug addiction, gender, and social change in contemporary China.
