Widespread use of the drug, which for a short period became "easier to buy than vegetables," coincided with radical changes in the local economy caused by the marketization of the mining industry. More than two decades later, both the heroin epidemic and the mining boom are often discussed as recent history. Middle-aged long-term heroin users, however, complain that they feel stuck in an earlier moment of the country's rapid reforms, navigating a world that no longer resembles either the tightly-knit Maoist work units of their childhood or the disorienting but opportunity-filled chaos of their early careers. Overcoming addiction in Gejiu has become inseparable from broader attempts to re-imagine laboring lives in a rapidly shifting social world. Drawing on more than eighteen months of fieldwork, Nicholas Bartlett explores how individuals' diverging experiences of recovery highlight shared challenges of inhabiting China's contested present"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Heroin abuse $x Social aspects $z Gejiu. $z Gejiu. 650 0 $a Drug abuse $z Gejiu $z Gejiu $x History. 650 0 $a Recovering addicts $x Employment $z Gejiu. $z Gejiu. 650 7 $a Drug abuse. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898480 650 7 $a Heroin abuse $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430483 651 7 $a China $z Gejiu. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01249927 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Bartlett, Nicholas, 1978- $t Recovering histories. $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2020] $z 9780520975378 $w (DLC) 2020014435 830 0 $a Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EAD9EBC71B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
