In the 1960s, the governments of Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia
launched agricultural settlement programs in each country's vast
Amazonian frontier lowlands. Two decades later, these exact same
zones had transformed into the centers of the illicit cocaine boom
of the Americas. Drawing on concepts from both history and
anthropology, The Origins of Cocaine explores how three countries
with divergent different mid-century political trajectories ended
up with parallel outcomes in illicit frontier economies and
cocalero cultures. Bringing together transnational, national, and
local analyses, the volume provides an in-depth examination of the
deep origins of drug economics in the Americas. As the first
substantial study on the shift from agrarian colonization to
narcotization, The Origins of Cocaine will appeal to scholars and
postgraduate students of Latin American history, anthropology,
globalization, development and environmental studies.
