For readers of Dopesick & Dreamland, journalist Jack Shuler explores the current addiction crisis as a human rights problem fostered by poverty & inadequate health care in this “insightful look at how the issues in Ohio affect the rest of the country” (Cosmopolitan, A Best Nonfiction Book of the Year).
Tainted drug supplies, inadequate civic responses, & prevailing negative opinions about people who use drugs, the poor, & those struggling with mental health issues lead to thousands of preventable deaths each year while politicians are slow to adopt effective policies. Putting themselves at great personal risk (& often breaking the law to do so), the brave men & women profiled in This Is Ohio are mounting a grassroots effort to combat ineffective & often incorrect ideas about addiction & instead focus on saving lives through commonsense harm reduction policies.
Opioids are the current face of addiction, but as Shuler shows, the crisis in our midst is one that has long been fostered by income inequality, the loss of manufacturing jobs across the Rust Belt, & lack of access to health care. What is playing out in Ohio today isn’t only about opioids, but rather a decades–long economic & sociological shift in small towns all across the United States. It’s also about a larger culture of stigma at the heart of how we talk about addiction. What happens in Ohio will have ramifications felt across the nation & for decades to come.JACK SHULER is the author of 3 books, including The Thirteenth Turn: A History of the Noose. His writing has appeared in The New Republic, Pacific Standard, The Christian Science Monitor, 100 Days in Appalachia, & Los Angeles Times. He is chair of the narrative journalism program at Denison University.
