The best place : addiction, intervention, and living and dying young in Vancouver

Fast, Danya (author.).

Summary: In both local and international imaginations, Vancouver, Canada, is often celebrated as one of the world's most beautiful, cosmopolitan, and livable cities. Simultaneously, the city continues to be a ground zero for successive waves of public health emergency and intervention, including a recent and unprecedented drug overdose crisis driven by the proliferation of illicitly-manufactured fentanyl and related analogues in the local drug supply. In The Best Place, Danya Fast explores these politics of place from the perspectives of young people who use drugs. Those who are the subject of this book were in many ways relegated to the social, spatial, and economic margins of the city. Yet, they were also often at the very center of city life and state projects, including the project of protecting life in the context of the current overdose crisis. --
