| Abstract | 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. |
