War on Drugs and the Global Colour LinePaperback / softback
The War on Drugs has led to millions of people dead, displaced and incarcerated. While laws prohibiting the production, sale and use of particular drugs are presented as politically neutral and objective, this collection reveals the racist impact of the War on Drugs across multiple continents and in numerous situations. Disproportionately enforced on oppressed races, international drug prohibition has reinforced the colour line across the globe.
Pushing forward the debate and activism led by groups such as Black Lives Matter and calling for radical From racialised drugs policing at festivals in the UK to the necropolitical wars in Juarez, Mexico and from the exchange of drug policing programs between the United States and Israel to the management of black bodies in Brazil, this collection proves that the regulation of drugs and race is an international, and intentional, disaster.
