What Anthropology Taught Me About Racism, Drugs & the Stories We Tell Ourselves
from Women on the Brink
Send us Fan MailI thought I was taking a course about drugs at University. Instead, I learned about race, power, history, and the stories we tell ourselves about addiction. In this episode of Women on the Brink, I share the lessons that shocked me the most; from the racial history of the War on Drugs to why some people are treated as criminals while others are seen as victims. We also explore how these issues affect women, Indigenous communities, and why education and empathy are essential if we want to build a more just Canada.
