In a valley in the eastern foothills of the central Peruvian Andes,
a wealth of cocaine once flowed. From the mid-1970s to the
mid-1990s, this valley experienced abrupt rises in fortune,
reckless corruption, and the brutality of those who sought to
impress their own brand of order. When this era of cocaine came to
a close, the legacy of its violence continued to mold people's
perceptions of time through local storytelling practices.
"Coca's Gone" examines the tense, depressed social terrain of
Peru's Upper Huallaga Valley in the wake of a twenty-year cocaine
boom. This compelling book conveys stories of the lived reality of
jolted social worlds and weaves a fascinating meditation on the
complex interrelationships between violence, law, and time.
