Coca's Gone: Of Might and Right in the Huallaga Post-boom
- Synopsis
-
From the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, the Upper Huallaga Valley in Peru experienced an economic boom based on the illicit cocaine trade while simultaneously experiencing contestations for control between the Peruvian state and the Shining Path guerrilla group. In this ethnography of the valley conducted in the wake of that boom, Kernaghan (sociology and anthropology, Fordham U. at Lincoln Center) particularly focuses on experiences and narratives of law and violence as they relate to processes of state formation.
