Reviews

“Patteson’s work makes a highly original and suggestive contribution to the study of drugs, intoxication, addiction and trafficking in Latin America. In particular, his work is a much-needed answer to the critical current, exemplified by Osvaldo Zavala and others, that is quick to discount works that supposedly do little to oppose narco-culture. ... it will certainly be required reading for anyone studying drugs, intoxication or drug trafficking going forward.” (Brandon P. Bisbey, Chasqui, Vol. 51 (1), May, 2022)
