A recent (1996) book is William James and Stephen Johnson <Doin' Drugs:
Patterns of African-American Addiction.>  I think your best bet is going
through the many ethnographies especially of the 1950s.  As far as oral
histories go, I have found David Courtwright, et. al. <Addicts Who
Survived> and Bill Hansen, et. al. <Life with Heroin> the best.  Have you
thought about fiction?  Claude Brown <Manchild in the Promised Land> is
both stunning and infinitely informative.
