"Wheeling and Dealing" is a vivid account of the world inhabited
by "wholesale" illicit drug traffickers. Based on six years of
participant observation, fieldwork, and extensive interviews in an
elite Southern California community of dealers, the book gives a
rare glimpse into the decadent yet fascinating "subculture of drug
trafficking and unending partying, mixed with occasional
cloak-and-dagger subterfuge."
This second edition brings the story up to date by revealing the
fate of several of Adler's key informants. By tracing their lives
over a fifteen-year span, Adler offers a unique longitudinal
perspective on deviant careers and the reintegration of dealers
into conventional society. She also analyzes the unintended
consequences of the federal government's war on drugs, tying it to
the increasing violence and organizational sophistication of drug
traffickers and the rise of international cartels.
