Disproportionately enforced on oppressed races, international \ndrug prohibition has reinforced the colour line across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While laws prohibiting the production, sale and use of particular drugs \nare presented as politically neutral and objective, this collection reveals \nthe racist impact of the War on Drugs across multiple continents and in \nnumerous situations. From racialised drugs policing at festivals in the UK \nto the necropolitical wars in Juarez, Mexico and from the exchange of drug \npolicing programs between the United States and Israel to the management of \nblack bodies in Brazil, this collection proves that the regulation of drugs \nand race is an international, and intentional, disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Pushing forward the debate and activism led by groups such as Black Lives \nMatter and calling for radical changes in drug policy legislation and \nprison reform, both nationally and internationally, this collection cuts \ndeep and rings true for all people fighting racism today. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40240114860125,"sku":"9780745338804","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/9780745338804.jpg?v=1656394915","url":"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/en-us\/products\/the-war-on-drugs-and-the-global-colour-line","provider":"Leftwingbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
