Gabriel Ferreyra delves into a comprehensive examination of drug trafficking in Mexico and the United States, exploring its historical roots, evolution, consolidation, and cultural implications over the past century. Through his insightful analysis, Ferreyra sheds light on the devastating consequences of this phenomenon, emphasizing the profound impact it has had on Mexican society, while the United States persists in its futile pursuit of drug prohibition. This book stands apart from others in its interdisciplinary social science approach, treating drug trafficking as a multifaceted social, political, economic, and cultural problem rather than solely a criminal justice issue.
Drug Trafficking in Mexico and the United States also takes a critical look at the war on drugs, arguing that drug control is the primary driver behind this global issue. The author delves into an analysis of how the DEA has reinforced the war on drugs model, transforming it into a reactionary agency that opposes any comprehensive alternative to the American drug problem. In conclusion, Ferreyra offers practical recommendations to address the illicit drug trade effectively, advocating for measures such as decriminalization, reclassification, and legalization of drugs. By adopting these forward-thinking approaches, the book aims to contribute to a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of the complex challenges posed by drug trafficking in Mexico and the United States.
