In light of the conceptual imperialism of addiction and its associated biological reductionism, it is essential to keep alive critical perspectives on addiction that expose the historical and cultural interstices in which the disease concept of addiction is constructed. The readings selected for this anthology include both the classic foundational pieces and cutting-edge contemporary works that constitute critical addiction studies. The diverse array of human troubles now lumped under the umbrella of "addiction" are too painful for too many millions of people and affect too many public policy issues to be left to reductionist doctrines. The hegemony of the addiction-as-brain-disease paradigm must be unpacked and interrogated.

That is the purpose of this innovative text/reader by two of sociology s most distinguished addiction researchers and educators.
