Forty years after President Nixon declared a "War on Drugs," the worldwide demand for illicit drugs has not lessened, the profits of the international drug cartels have increased and the resulting corruption has created Narco-governments in many countries. This "War" has accounted for billions of dollars spent on benign enforcement efforts, put millions of simple drug users in US prisons, neglected the root causes of illegal drug use, ignored legalization measures and during a six-year period, the "Mexican Drug War" left over 120,000 persons maimed, missing or murdered. When Lieutenant Christopher Garcia, the Coast Guard's Chief of Intelligence in San Juan, Puerto Rico, initiates an aggressive patrol program, the drug seizure rate soars, but not everyone is pleased; Garcia and his team have unknowingly entered the exclusive territory of a rogue group of US Customs agents and drug-traffickers who decide that the Coast Guard must be stopped...no matter the method, the cost or the consequences.

The well-known and controversial Mexican American studies (MAS) program in Arizona's Tucson Unified School District set out to create an equitable and excellent educational experience for Latino students. Raza Studies: The Public Option for Educational Revolution offers the first comprehensive account of this progressive--indeed revolutionary--program by those who created it, implemented it, and have struggled to protect it.
Inspired by Paulo Freire's vision for critical pedagogy and Chicano activists of the 1960s, the designers of the program believed their program would encourage academic achievement and engagement by Mexican American students. With chapters by leading scholars, this volume explains how the program used "critically compassionate intellectualism" to help students become "transformative intellectuals" who successfully worked to improve their level of academic achievement, as well as create social change in their schools and communities.
Despite its popularity and success inverting the achievement gap, in 2010 Arizona state legislators introduced and passed legislation with the intent of banning MAS or any similar curriculum in public schools. Raza Studies is a passionate defense of the program in the face of heated local and national attention. It recounts how one program dared to venture to a world of possibility, hope, and struggle, and offers compelling evidence of success for social justice education programs.
