Rhetoric of the Opioid Epidemic

Deaths of Despair in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rhetoric of the Opioid Epidemic argues that the opioid epidemic is a public health issue. By analyzing case studies from popular culture and governmental responses, Tiara Good demonstrates that the power of naming it an epidemic, rather than a drug or crime issue, reduces counterproductive stigma and assists in reshaping public perspectives.
