Flashback - Drugs and Dealing in the Golden Age of the London Rave Scene

Zusatztext 'This is a fine study and the investment in ethnographic research over a period of five years in the field yields a rich dividend in data and valuable insight. The theoretical framework employed relates the data to other contemporary approaches to recreational drug consumption in thoughtful and illuminating ways. The energy generated through the adoption of Thatcherite entrepreneurial values is evaluated very well and! as Ward suggests! there are important insights to be gained from examining the 'business end' of the dance and rave phenomenon.'-Paul Manning!
