"Cocaine reaches the goal of providing ‘a new way of thinking about the interconnections that operate in the cocaine trade’ by meticulously articulating a coherent conceptual and theoretical model of ‘the moral economy of the cocaine’ to understand the trade and its impacts in Latin America and the globe. ... An insightful resource for researchers observing drug trafficking and those interested in Latin American modern history."
