J. Bryan Page and Merrill Singer create a comprehensive examination of the whole field of drug ethnography-methodology that involves access to the hidden world of drug users, the social spaces they frequent, and the larger structural forces that help construct their worlds. They explore the important intersections of drug ethnography with globalization, criminalization, public health (including the HIV\/AIDS epidemic, hepatitis, and other diseases), and gender, and also provide a practical guide of the methods and career paths of ethnographers.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThrough ethnographic eyes\u003cbr\u003e The emergence of drug ethnography\u003cbr\u003e Systematic modernist ethnography and ethnopharmacology\u003cbr\u003e Drug ethnography since the emergence of AIDS\u003cbr\u003e Drugs and globalization: from the ground up and the sky down\u003cbr\u003e The conduct of drug ethnography: risks, rewards, and ethical quandaries in drug research careers\u003cbr\u003e Career paths in drug-related ethnography: from falling to calling\u003cbr\u003e Gender and drug use: drug ethnography by women about women\u003cbr\u003e The future of drug ethnography as reflected in recent developments\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681251488024,"sku":"9780813548043","price":25.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/comprehending-drug-use-ethnographic-research-at-the-social-margins-paperback-softback-9780813548043","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
