Synopsis "Histories of Drug Trafficking in Twentieth-Century Mexico"

This work brings together a new generation of drug historians and new historical sources to uncover the history of the drug trade and its regulations. While the US and Mexican governments developed anti-drug discourses and policies, which criminalized both high-profile traffickers and small-time addicts, these authorities also employed the criminals and cash connected to the drug trade to pursue more pressing political concerns. The politics, socioeconomic relations, and criminal justice system of modern Mexico have been shaped by these public and covert policies as well as by subnational histories of drug production and trafficking. The essays in this study explore this complicated narrative and provide insight into Mexico's history and the wider contemporary global drug trade.

Benjamin T. Smith —historiador británico especializado en México y profesor en la University of Warwick— se ha consolidado como una de las voces más rigurosas en el estudio de la violencia, el Estado y los movimientos sociales en el siglo XX mexicano. Su investigación combina archivos oficiales, testimonios locales y trabajo de campo, una mezcla que le permite reconstruir procesos históricos complejos con una claridad poco común. Su trayectoria académica se apoya en años de estudio sobre política rural, conflicto social y las bases históricas del narcotráfico.

Entre su obra destaca The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade, publicada en español como La droga. La verdadera historia del narcotráfico en México. El libro ofrece un recorrido documentado y crítico sobre cómo se formaron las redes de tráfico, cómo interactuaron con gobiernos locales y federales y cómo evolucionó una economía ilegal que terminó moldeando instituciones, regiones y vidas enteras. Su aporte principal radica en desmontar mitos y mostrar la dimensión histórica de un fenómeno que suele explicarse solo desde el presente.
