Gabriel Ferreyra presents a comprehensive analysis of drug
trafficking in Mexico and the United States by examining the roots,
development, consolidation, and cultural ramifications of this
phenomenon in the past century as well as its negative consequences
in contemporary Mexico. Ferreyra discusses the most devastating
effects correlated to drug trafficking such as high murder rates,
gruesome violence, disappearances, and mass graves to emphasize how
Mexican society bears the brunt of this phenomenon while the United
States insists on the futility of drug prohibition. Unlike other
publications, this book provides an interdisciplinary social
science approach where drug trafficking is conceptualized as a
multifaceted social, political, economic, and cultural problem,
rather than just a criminal justice issue. Drug Trafficking in
Mexico and the United States also revisits the war on drugs and
provides an argument how drug control is the primary force behind
drug trafficking. In that respect, there is an analysis on how the
DEA has reinforced the war on drugs model and why it became a
reactionary agency that opposes any comprehensive alternative to
the American drug problem besides drug control. The author
concludes with recommendations to implement forward-thinking
measures such as decriminalization, reclassification, and
legalization of drugs to effectively address the illicit drug
trade.
