Paperback. Condition: Good. Though pillage, profit, and plunder have been a mainstay of war since pre-colonial times, there is little contemporary focus on the role of finance and economics in today's "Drug Wars"--despite the fact that they boost US banks and fill prisons with poor people. They feed political campaigns, increase the arms trade, and function as long-term fixes to capitalism's woes, cracking open new territories to privatization and foreign direct investment. Combining on-the-ground reporting with extensive research, Dawn Paley moves beyond the usual horror stories, beyond journalistic rubbernecking and hand-wringing, to follow the thread of the Drug War story throughout the entire region of Latin America and all the way back to US boardrooms and political offices. This unprecedented book chronicles how terror is used against the population at large in cities and rural areas, generating panic and facilitating policy changes that benefit the international private sector, particularly extractive industries like petroleum and mining. This is what is really going on. This is drug war capitalism. Dawn Paley is a freelance journalist who has been reporting from South America, Central America, and Mexico for over ten years. Her writing has been published in the Nation, the Guardian, Vancouver Sun, Globe and Mail, Ms. magazine, the Tyee, Georgia Straight, and NACLA, among others. In Oakland, California on March 24, 2015 a fire destroyed the AK Press warehouse along with several other businesses.

Paperback. Condition: New.

Condition: New. La abolición de las fuerzas represivas va mucho más allá de la crítica a la policía y las prisiones. La abolición, como explican lxs autorxs de este libro, es un proceso de imaginar - y luchar por - la transformación de la sociedad entera. El pensamiento abolicionista rastrea sus orígenes hasta el legado de rebelión de las personas esclavizadas contra el capitalismo de plantaciones. Hoy, son mujeres Negras quienes han liderado el trabajo político, pedagógico y teórico que ha retomado la estafeta de la abolición. Abolir ya! reúne textos escritos durante los últimos 30 años en diálogo con y como parte de la resistencia militante contra la policía y el encarcelamiento en los Estados Unidos y más allá.…
