Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This is a discussion of the transformation of drug use (especially morphine and cocaine, which was once commonly available in any chemist's shop) into a national menace. It revolves around the death of Billie Carleton, a West End musical actress, in 1918. Its cast of characters includes Brilliant C…hang, a Chinese restaurant proprietor and Edgar Manning, a jazz drummer from Jamaica. They were eventually identified as the villains of the affair and invested with a highly charged sexual menace. Around them, in the streets off Shaftesbury Avenue, there swirled a raffish group of seedy and entitled hedonists. Britain was horrified and fascinated, and so the drug problem was born amid a gush of exotic tabloid detail. 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. Zustand: 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 communit…y 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.
