When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era In the 1980s and 1990s, the crack cocaine epidemic swept across America, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake. This kaleidoscopic account tells the story of the rise and fall of the epidemic through the lives of four individuals whose experiences illuminate the dramatic impact of the crisis on communities of color. Beginning with the myths inspired by Reagan's war on drugs, journalist Donovan X Ramsey's exacting analysis traces the path from the last triumphs of the Civil Rights Movement to the devastating realities we live with today - a racist criminal justice system, continued mass incarceration, and increased police brutality. The story begins with Elgin Swift, an archetype of American industry and ambition, whose father became addicted to crack and turned their home into a crack house. Lennie Woodley, a former crack addict and sex worker, shares her harrowing experiences on the streets of Newark, where she was forced to sell her body to feed her habit.
When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era В 1980-х и 1990-х годах эпидемия крэк-кокаина охватила всю Америку, оставив после себя след опустошения. Этот калейдоскопический отчет рассказывает о росте и падении эпидемии в жизни четырех человек, чей опыт освещает драматическое влияние кризиса на цветные сообщества. Начиная с мифов, вдохновленных войной Рейгана с наркотиками, тщательный анализ журналиста Донована Рэмси прослеживает путь от последних триумфов Движения за гражданские права к разрушительным реалиям, с которыми мы живем сегодня - расистской системе уголовного правосудия, продолжающемуся массовому лишению свободы и усилению жестокости полиции. История начинается с Элгина Свифта, архетипа американской индустрии и амбиций, чей отец пристрастился к крэку и превратил их дом в крэк-хаус. Ленни Вудли, бывшая крэк-наркоманка и секс-работница, делится своими мучительными переживаниями на улицах Ньюарка, где она была вынуждена продать своё тело, чтобы прокормить свою привычку.

L'histoire commence avec Elgin Swift, l'archétype de l'industrie et des ambitions américaines, dont le père est accro au crack et a transformé leur maison en une maison de crack. nny Woodley, une ex-toxicomane crack et travailleuse du sexe, partage ses expériences douloureuses dans les rues de Newark, où elle a été forcée de vendre son corps pour nourrir son habitude.

Kiedy pęknięcie było królem: Ludowa historia nieporozumionej ery W latach osiemdziesiątych i dziewięćdziesiątych pęknięta epidemia kokainy przeszła przez Amerykę, pozostawiając ślad dewastacji. Ten kalejdoskopowy raport chroni wzrost i upadek epidemii w życiu czterech osób, których doświadczenia oświetlają dramatyczny wpływ kryzysu na społeczności koloru.

Historia zaczyna się od Elgina Swifta, archetypa amerykańskiego przemysłu i ambicji, którego ojciec uzależnił się od pęknięcia i zamienił ich dom w pęknięty dom. nny Woodley, były uzależniony od pęknięć i pracownik seksualny, dzieli się swoim przerażającym doświadczeniem na ulicach Newark, gdzie była zmuszona sprzedać swoje ciało, aby nakarmić swój nawyk.
