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. 410 0$aAfrican arguments. 606 $aDrug traffic$zAfrica 606 $aDrug control$zAfrica 606 $aDrug abuse$zAfrica 606 $aDrugs trade / drug trafficking$2bicssc 615 0$aDrug traffic 615 0$aDrug control 615 0$aDrug abuse 615 7$aDrugs trade / drug trafficking 676 $a363.45096 700 $aCarrier$b Neil C.
