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. 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aMedicine$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aMedical policy 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aHistory of Medicine 606 $aModern History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHealth Policy 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aMedical policy. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHealth Policy. 676 $a363.450941 700 $aHallam$b Christopher$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059511 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299790803321 996 $aWhite Drug Cultures and Regulation in London, 1916-1960$94327756 997 $aUNINA
