Groundbreaking Look at Racism and the Drug Wars
I've been a drug policy reform activist for 17 years and have never before seen the Latin American perspective presented the way that Prof. Marez does in this book. Tracing the use of opium to subdue the Chinese by Britain and the U.S., Marez draws comparisons to U.S. laws against marijuana and the subjugation of Mexicans.

Groundbreaking Look at Racism and the Drug Wars,
This review is from: Drug Wars: The Political Economy Of Narcotics (Paperback)
I've been a drug policy reform activist for 17 years and have never before seen the Latin American perspective presented the way that Prof. Marez does in this book. Tracing the use of opium to subdue the Chinese by Britain and the U.S., Marez draws comparisons to U.S. laws against marijuana and the subjugation of Mexicans. Filled with fascinating details and photographs about early Hollywood and its racist propaganda against Mexicans and marijuana, the book ends with chapters on South American "Cocaine Colonialism." Highly recommended, essential reading.
