“Through its attention to both the transnational cocaine commodity chain and the locally specific moral economies that have developed along it, Cocaine presents an innovative and urgent perspective. This highly original and engaging volume makes significant contributions to studies of crime, governance, economics, and Latin American studies.” - Rivke Jaffe, author of (Concrete Jungles: Urban Pollution and the Politics of Difference in the Caribbean) “A beautifully curated collection of rich and nuanced work surrounding cocaine, this outstanding book should be read across disciplines by policy makers, geographers, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, and sensible political scientists.” - Graham Denyer Willis, author of (The Killing Consensus: Police, Organized Crime, and the Regulation of Life and Death in Urban Brazil) "That rarest of edited volumes, one that genuinely changes the field, maintains structure and coherence, and never drifts into repetitiveness." - Molly C. Ball (HAHR) "Cocaine offers new insights into the impact of narcotics in Latin America. It is an authoritative, interdisciplinary collection of studies geared to policy makers, social scientists, and historians that will undoubtedly strengthen their understanding of this complex subject." - Jane Rausch (Journal of Global South Studies) "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."- Onur Agkaya (Bulletin of Latin American Research) "Cocaine is a well-written book, with each chapter providing much to think about concerning the moral economy of the drug trade." - William L. Marcy (The Latin Americanist)
