Is it possible that US drug policies are helping to proliferate, not prevent, a multitude of social ills including: homicide, property crime, the spread of AIDS, the contamination of drugs, the erosion of civil liberties, the punishment of thousands of non-violent people, the corruption of public officials, and the spending of billions of tax dollars in an attempt to prevent certain drugs from entering the country?" Arthur Benavie analyzes the research findings and argues that an end to the "War on Drugs," much as we ended alcohol prohibition, would yield enormous international benefits, destroy dangerous and illegal drug cartels, and allow the American government to refocus its attention on public well-being. 517 3 $aAmerica's holy war 606 $aDrug control$zUnited States 606 $aDrug legalization$zUnited States 606 $aSocial problems$zUnited States 615 0$aDrug control 615 0$aDrug legalization 615 0$aSocial problems 676 $a362.29/1560973 676 $a362.291560973 676 $a363.450973 700 $aBenavie$b Arthur.$0566774 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791926203321 996 $aDrugs$93756934 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04255nam 2200937Ia 450 001 9910780975203321 005 20230725041531.0 010 $a0-8147-9606-0 010 $a0-8147-5954-8 010 $a1-4416-3823-7 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814759547 035 $a(CKB)2520000000007947 035 $a(EBL)865695 035 $a(OCoLC)779828193 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000336480 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11258440 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000336480 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10282871 035 $a(PQKB)10928705 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001326154 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC865695 035 $a(OCoLC)647835901 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse4855 035 $a(DE-B1597)546953 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814759547 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL865695 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10356705 035 $a(OCoLC)1178769861 035 $a(EXLCZ)992520000000007947 100 $a20090925d2010 uh 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDangerous curves$b[electronic resource] $eLatina bodies in the media /$fIsabel Molina-Guzma?n 210 $aNew York $cNew York University Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (266 p.) 225 1 $aCritical cultural communication 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8147-5736-7 311 $a0-8147-5735-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tIntroduction -- $t1.

Dangerous Curves traces the visibility of the Latina body in the media and popular culture by analyzing a broad range of popular media including news, media gossip, movies, television news, and online audience discussions.Isabel Molina-Guzmán maps the ways in which the Latina body is gendered, sexualized, and racialized within the United States media using a series of fascinating case studies. The book examines tabloid headlines about Jennifer Lopez?s indomitable sexuality, the contested authenticity of Salma Hayek?s portrayal of Frida Kahlo in the movie Frida, and America Ferrera?s universally appealing yet racially sublimated Ugly Betty character. Dangerous Curves carves out a mediated terrain where these racially ambiguous but ethnically marked feminine bodies sell everything from haute couture to tabloids.Through a careful examination of the cultural tensions embedded in the visibility of Latina bodies in United States media culture, Molina-Guzmán paints a nuanced portrait of the media?s role in shaping public knowledge about Latina identity and Latinidad, and the ways political and social forces shape media representations. 410 0$aCritical cultural communication. 606 $aHispanic American women in mass media 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States 606 $aMass media and minorities$zUnited States 610 $aCurves. 610 $aDangerous. 610 $aLatina. 610 $aanalyzing. 610 $aaudience. 610 $abody. 610 $abroad. 610 $aculture. 610 $adiscussions. 610 $agossip. 610 $aincluding. 610 $amedia. 610 $amovies. 610 $anews. 610 $aonline. 610 $apopular. 610 $arange. 610 $atelevision. 610 $atraces. 610 $avisibility. 615 0$aHispanic American women in mass media. 615 0$aPopular culture 615 0$aMass media and minorities 676 $a302.2308968/073 700 $aMolina-Guzma?n$b Isabel$01562913 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780975203321 996 $aDangerous curves$93830924 997 $aUNINA
