Paperback. Condition: Very Good. THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE HIT TV SERIES STARRING ELIZA SCANLEN AND JULIANNE NICHOLSON 27 November 1918, London. Just days after the end of the Great War, rising star Billie Carleton took to the stage for the last time. She was found dead the next day; the cause of death ruled to be a cocaine ove…rdose. Within a few years, the story snowballed into a cautionary tale of the relationship between young women, dope and predatory men, drawing from pernicious racist myths and transforming drug use into a social menace. This is the story of the moral panic that led to the demonisation of drugs in the UK, and an exploration of how narcotics have been used as a means of speaking about gender, race and the nation's place in the world since the turn of the century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 27th November 1918, London. Just 16 days after the end of the Great War, with the nation on its knees, Billie Carleton takes to the stage for the last time. She is found dead the next day in her bedroom. The cause of death: a cocaine overdose. The drugs were traced back to the Chinese commun…ity in Limehouse. And for nearly half a century, Billie Carleton's case was to linger in popular imagination: a cautionary tale of the relationship between young girls, dope and predatory men. This is the story of how drug use was transformed into a national menace. It's the story of how morphine and cocaine, once commonly available in any chemist's shop, became the subject of vicious narratives targeting racial minorities and the working classes. And it's a reflection on how drugs provide a way of speaking simultaneously about women, race, class, sex and the nation's place in the world - both in at the turn of the 20th Century and in Britain today. Now a major BBC TV series: a tour through the seedier side of Britain between the wars, and the moral panic that led to the criminalisation of drugs - reissued with added material. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
