All of this is neatly captured in his sentence: ""Baltimore became home but was also my disappointment with the promise of American dream."" Beginning with the police shooting of Freddie Gray, a man police saw narrowly as a criminal street drug dealer, and ending with the transition from ethnography to application, this book is a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of drug abuse in Baltimore and beyond as well as a call to action.--Merrill Singer, University of Connecticut" Author InformationSanaullah Khan is medical and psychiatric anthropologist.
