It also examines the regulatory forces that tried to suppress non-medical drug use, in both their medical and juridical forms. Drugs subcultures were previously thought to have begun as part of the post-war youth culture, but in fact they existed from at least the 1930s. In this book, two networks of drug users are explored, one emerging from the disaffected youth of the aristocracy, the other from the night-time economy of London's West End. Their drug use was caught up in a kind of dance whose steps represented cultural conflicts over identity and the modernism and Victorianism that coexisted in interwar Britain.Great BritainHistoryMedicineHistoryHistory, ModernCivilizationHistoryMedical policyHistory of Britain and IrelandHistory of MedicineModern HistoryCultural HistoryHealth PolicyGreat BritainHistory.MedicineHistory.History, Modern.CivilizationHistory.Medical policy.History of Britain and Ireland.History of Medicine.Modern History.Cultural History.Health Policy.363.450941Hallam Christopherauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1059511BOOK9910299790803321White Drug Cultures and Regulation in London, 1916-19604327756UNINA
