    Series Statement: African arguments
    Content: Africa's drug habit -- Drugs and development : a new threat or opportunity? -- Drug barons, traffickers and mules : Africa as entrepôt -- African states and drugs : complexity, neglect and repression.
    Content: Nigerian drug lords in UK prisons, khat-chewing Somali pirates hijacking Western ships, crystal meth-smoking gangs controlling South Africa's streets, and narco-traffickers corrupting the state in Guinea-Bissau: these are some of the vivid images surrounding drugs in Africa which have alarmed policymakers, academics and the general public in recent years. 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

    Note: "Our initial impetus for this volume derives from a workshop entitled Drugs and Alcohol in Africa: Production, Distribution, Consumption & Control held at St Antony's College, Oxford, in May 2006. This workshop was supported by the African Studies Centre at Oxford, and a grant from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the UK government. ... More momentum for the volume was generated by a panel on the same theme at the 2011 African Studies Association annual meeting in Washington, DC, where revised versions of previous workshop papers, as well as new research revived our discussions about drugs in Africa."--Acknowledgments. - Includes bibliographical references and index
