Drug prohibition emerged at the same time as the discovery of film,
and their histories intersect in interesting ways. This book
examines the ideological assumptions embedded in the narrative and
imagery of one hundred fictional drug films produced in Britain,
Canada, and the U.S. from 1912 to 2006, including Broken Blossoms,
Reefer Madness, The Trip, Superfly, Withnail and I, Traffik,
Traffic, Layer Cake, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, Trailer
Park Boys, and more. Boyd focuses on past and contemporary illegal
drug discourse about users, traffickers, drug treatment, and the
intersection of criminal justice with counterculture, alternative,
and stoner flicks. She provides a socio-historical and cultural
criminological perspective, and an analysis of race, class and
gender representations in illegal drug films. This illuminating
work will be an essential text for a wide range of students and
scholars in the fields of criminology, sociology, media, gender and
women's studies, drug studies, and cultural studies.
