What People are Saying About This
“Hector Amaya's weighty, ambitious book sheds new light on the plague of violence around trafficking networks between Mexico and the United States by taking it seriously as a deep philosophical problem. Trafficking's scope is breathtaking; it is first-rate scholarship that makes an important intervention into an essential topic of our time.”
“Trafficking is a vital and critically sophisticated study of U.S-Mexico politics and culture at a time of great political and social urgency for the communities, economies, and lives that Hector Amaya theorizes and examines. Turning our attention to the ways in which the trafficking of violence is restructuring life on both sides of the border, Amaya makes a significant contribution to the way we think about and study contemporary U.S.-Mexico relations.”
