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.
