• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Youth, Drugs, and Night Life explores the relationships between the electronic dance scene and drug use for young ravers and clubbers today. Based on over 300 interviews with ravers, DJ's and promoters, the authors explore the accomplishment of gender, sexuality and Asian American ethnicity and the negotiation of risk and pleasure within these scenes. The authors pivot from the local to the national to the global in this qualitative analysis of the scene and its inhabitants
