About this product
Product Information
"Keane's work is thoughtful and thought provoking and incorporates elements of medical history and philosophy."-- Psychiatric Services "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies." --Robert Granfield, co-author of Coming Clean We assume that there is something wrong with addiction. But how exactly is it bad to be an addict? What's Wrong with Addiction? explores the ways in which our views of addiction categorize certain ways of being as unnatural, diseased, and self-destructive, often working to reinforce existing social hierarchies. Under the rubric of addiction, pleasure and desire are demonized, while the addict is viewed as damaged and in need of physical and moral rectificaiton. Keane examines the ambiguities in medical science's quest to construct addiction in chemical and biological terms, revealing the strains in the oppositions between disease and health, and addiction and normality. She demonstrates how these strains have become more insistent as the net of addiction has spread wider, moving beyond chemical substances to other problems of consumption and conduct such as compulsive eating and sex addiction. The book also critically examines the ideals of health, freedom, and happiness found in popular self-help literature, suggesting that it is the practices of self-surveillance and self-interrogation promoted in recovery guides which actually produce the inner self as an object of concern.

Reviews
"Civil disobedience is the voice of our consciences, the courage which mocks our fear of authority, the point where right defies rules. This book wisely and elegantly charts the methods and philosophy of dissent, it is a must read and a good read for anyone concerned with the injustices of our times." - Jock Young, author of The Vertigo of Late Modernity, " Crimes of Dissent will immediately engage students and activists alike. Using clear and concise first-person narratives, the book explains why and how people engage in civil disobedience and the ways that law enforcement responds. The reader stands to learn important concepts and ideas regarding political dissent, it's long history, and the theory behind it." - Luis A. Fernandez, author of Policing Dissent: Social Control and the Anti-Globalization Movement, "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."_, co-author of Coming Clean-Robert Granfield,co-author of Coming Clean, "is a highly engaging examination of contemporary forms and meanings of political activism in the United States. Written from the perspective of the scholar activist, the book is one part promotion of law violating forms of political action - 'crimes of dissent' - and one part handbook on civil disobedience."-Socialist Studies: the Journal of the Society for Socialist Studies,, "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."—, co-author of Coming Clean-Robert Granfield,co-author of Coming Clean, "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."—, co-author of Coming Clean - Robert Granfield, co-author of Coming Clean, ( "As a window into the contemporary American subculture of dissent, Crimes of Dissent is a fascinating read. The current American microcosm of dissent -- which is at turns strange and familiar, idealistic and pragmatic, ludicrous and lucid -- is revealed in full glory." )-( Law and Politics Book Review ),(), "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."&--, co-author of Coming Clean - Robert Granfield, co-author of Coming Clean, "This book is a timely reminder of the long history of the criminalization of dissent and civil disobedience that from time to time gets buried under the mass of numbers and figures so loved by many criminologists. Here we get the real story of dissent as narrated by dissenters themselves and the effects of the criminalization process on the everyday lives of both their families and themselves." - Mike Presdee, author of Cultural Criminology and the Carnival of Crime, "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."--, co-author of Coming Clean-Robert Granfield,co-author of Coming Clean, A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies.--, co-author of Coming Clean, "A theoretically engaging exploration of the arbitrariness of the field of addiction studies."&--, co-author of Coming Clean

I've bought from them a few times, and every time the records arrive just as described and well packed for shipping. Their prices for the EU releases I want have been far better than any other sellers. So I will continue to buy vinyl from them, knowing that they maintain a high level of customer support & communication.
