Abstract

Mexico's so-called “War on Drugs” began as a war on poor people. This article locates the roots of Mexico's current drug-related violence in a longer history of state terror and violence enacted against social movements and rural communities. The article traces this history by grounding it locally in the guerrerense municipality of Coyuca de Catalán.
