The War on Drugs in Tanzania - Prohibition and Punishment

This book analyzes the war on drugs in Tanzania, enacted through policy change and constructed narratives, and how it has contributed to the continuation of war on drugs ideology in East Africa and internationally. Centering the perspectives of people who use drugs themselves, the author argues for a radical rethinking of global drug policy.
