☞ Community forum with Dawn Paley, author of ‘Drug War Capitalism’.

-Dawn Paley investigates the US-imposed “Drug War” by centering the perspectives of communities in struggle. Her fascinating book demonstrates exactly how the “Drug War” operates as a form of state terror directed against indigenous, poor and organized peoples of the ‘Americas’. Using the pretense of fighting narco cartels, the United States has been experimenting with forms of social control that actually feed narco-violence in order to expand transnational capital southward.

-How is this linked with racist forms of social control within the US?

-What might “peace” look like in this expanding global war?

☞ Foro comunitario con Dawn Paley, autora del libro ‘El Capitalismo de la Guerra Anti-Narco.’

-Dawn Paley investiga la “Guerra Contra las Drogas” impuesta por los Estados Unidos Americanos centrando las perspectivas de comunidades en la lucha contra sus horrores. Su libro fascinante demuestra exactamente cómo la “Guerra Contra las Drogas ” funciona como una forma de terrorismo estatal dirigido contra los pueblos indígenas, los pobres y los pueblos auto organizados de las ‘Américas’. Usando el pretexto de la lucha contra los cárteles del narcotráfico, los Estados Unidos ha estado experimentando con formas de control social que realmente alimenta la narcoviolencia con el fin de amplificar y expandir el capital transnacional hacia el sur.

-¿Cómo se vincula la “Guerra Contra Las Drogas” con las formas racistas de control social dentro de los EE.UU.?

-¿Como podemos imaginar la “paz” bajo esta guerra que sigue expandiendo globalmente?
