About the book
"Worldwide heroin production doubled between the mid-1980s and 1995, rose by 20% in 1996 and another 25% by 2002. An estimated 15 million are addicts and yearly sales top automotive profits. Enmeshed with crime, terrorism, corporate business, government collaboration, and the spread of HIV, the opiate trade is inextricably entangled with modern society." "Chiva merges the global epic of heroin trafficking with the human-scale story of its presence in the small desert town that boasts the most per-capita overdose deaths in the U.S." "Compelling, disturbing, yet hopeful, Chiva is both personal and political, revealing the relationship between colonization and drug abuse, and the importance of reclaiming sustainable culture as a key to recovery."--BOOK JACKET.
