The first critical analysis of how Whiteness drove the opioid crisis. In the past two decades, media images of the surprisingly white “new face” of the US opioid crisis abounded.But why was the crisis so white? Some argued that skyrocketing overdoses were “deaths of despair” signaling deeper socioeconomic anguish in white communities.Whiteout makes the counterintuitive case that the opioid crisis was the product of white racial privilege as well as despair. Anchored by interviews, data, and riveting firsthand narratives from three leading experts—an addiction psychiatrist, a policy advocate, and a drug historian—Whiteout reveals how a century of structural racism in drug policy, and in profit-oriented medical industries led to mass white overdose deaths.The authors implicate racially segregated health care systems, the racial assumptions of addiction scientists, and relaxed regulation of pharmaceutical marketing to white consumers.Whiteout is an unflinching account of how racial capitalism is toxic for all Americans.

What is the difference between opioids and benzodiazepines?
Opioids and benzodiazepines are both types of medications used to treat different conditions. Opioids are primarily used for pain relief, while benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and seizures. Opioids work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain, while benzodiazepines work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) to produce a calming effect. Both types of medications can be addictive and have the potential for abuse, but opioids are more commonly associated with addiction and overdose deaths.

This book explores the diverse range of practical and theoretical challenges and possibilities that digital technologies and platforms pose for Holocaust memory, education and research.From social media to virtual reality, 360-degree imaging to machine learning, there can be no doubt that digital media penetrate practice in these fields.As the Holocaust moves beyond living memory towards solely mediated memory, it is imperative that we pay critical attention to the way digital technologies are shaping public memory and education and research.Bringing together the voices of heritage and educational professionals, and academics from the arts and humanities and the social sciences, this interdisciplinary collection explores the practicalities of creating digital Holocaust projects, the educational value of such initiatives, and considers the extent to which digital technologies change the way we remember, learn about and research the Holocaust, thinking through issues such as ethics, embodiment, agency, community, and immersion.At its core, this volume interrogates the extent to which digital interventions in these fields mark an epochal shift in Holocaust memory, education and research, or whether they continue to be shaped by long-standing debates and guidelines developed in the broadcast era.
