Описание:

In 2010, President Barack Obama signed a law repealing one of the most controversial policies in American criminal justice history: the one hundred to one sentencing disparity between crack cocaine and powder whereby someone convicted of “simply” possessing five grams of crack—the equivalent of a few sugar packets—had been required by law to serve no less than five years in prison. In this highly original work, Dimitri A. Bogazianos draws on various sources to examine the profound symbolic consequences of America’s reliance on this punishment structure, tracing the rich cultural linkages between America’s War on Drugs, and the creative contributions of those directly affected by its destructive effects.
Focusing primarily on lyrics that emerged in 1990s New York rap, which critiqued the music industry for being corrupt, unjust, and criminal, Bogazianos shows how many rappers began drawing parallels between the “rap game” and the “crack game." He argues that the symbolism of crack in rap’s stance towards its own commercialization represents a moral debate that is far bigger than hip hop culture, highlighting the degree to which crack cocaine—although a drug long in decline—has come to represent the entire paradoxical predicament of punishment in the U.S. today.

Описание:

Since the late 1990s, the United States has funneled billions of dollars
in aid to Colombia, ostensibly to combat the illicit drug trade
and State Department-designated terrorist groups. The result has
been a spiral of violence that continues to take lives and destabilize
Colombian society. This book asks an obvious question: are the official
reasons given for the wars on drugs and terror in Colombia
plausible, or are there other, deeper factors at work?

Scholars Villar and Cottle suggest that the answers lie in a close
examination of the cocaine trade, particularly its class dimensions.
Their analysis reveals that this trade has fueled extensive economic
growth and led to the development of a "narco-state" under the
control of a "narco-bourgeoisie" which is not interested in eradicating
cocaine but in gaining a monopoly over its production. The
principal target of this effort is the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia (FARC), who challenge that monopoly as well as the very
existence of the Colombian state. Meanwhile, U.S. business interests
likewise gain from the cocaine trade and seek to maintain a dominant,
imperialist relationship with their most important client state
in Latin America. Suffering the brutal consequences, as always, are
the peasants and workers of Colombia. This revelatory book punctures
the official propaganda and shows the class war underpinning
the politics of the Colombian cocaine trade.

Описание: Fleetwood explores how women become involved in trafficking, focusing on the lived experiences of women as drug mules. Offering theoretical insights from gender theory and transnational criminology, Fleetwood argues that women`s participation in the drugs trade cannot be adequately understood through the lenses of either victimization or agency.
