Nigerian drug lords in UK prisons, khat-chewing Somali pirates
hijacking Western ships, crystal meth-smoking gangs controlling
South Africa's streets, and narco-traffickers corrupting the state
in Guinea-Bissau: these are some of the vivid images surrounding
drugs in Africa which have alarmed policymakers, academics and the
general public in recent years. In this revealing and original
book, the authors weave these aspects into a provocative argument
about Africa's role in the global trade and control of drugs. In
doing so, they show how foreign-inspired policies have failed to
help African drug users but have strengthened the role of corrupt
and brutal law enforcement officers, who are tasked with halting
the export of heroin and cocaine to European and American consumer
markets. A vital book on an overlooked front of the so-called war
on drugs.
