#60 Racism and the global war on drugs w/ Kojo Koram

Kojo Koram joins me to discuss the history of the war on drugs, the
role of drug prohibition in the production of racism after the end
of formal imperialism, the central role of the United States in the
emergence of the global war on drugs, and the possibility of the
Boris Johnson government returning to a more punitive approach to
drug prohibition. Our conversation was prompted by the new book The
War on Drugs and the Global Colour Line which was edited by Kojo
and is out now from Pluto Press. Sound by @japinto
