Dorm Room Dealers: Drugs and the Privileges of Race and Class
Outstanding.... The authors uncover a world of drug dealing far removed from violent street-corner slinging and as entwined in the college experience as all-nighters and keg parties. Providing unparalleled insight into the war on drugs and an all-but-ignored deviant world, this book is as entertaining to read as it is educational. --Peter Moskos, John Jay College of Criminal JusticeAn excellent study that finally puts the race/class-biased War on Drugs into perspective. --William J. Chambliss, George Washington UniversityCompellingly demonstrates that college drug dealers, who are mostly white and middle-class, are not subject to the same constraints as typical, street-level dealers. --Heith Copes, University of Alabama at Birmingham
