Captivating from beginning to end and is difficult to put down once you start reading it. . . . A valuable resource for borderland scholars, Latin Americanists, and students in different academic disciplines interested in learning about how drug trafficking creates a narco_culture in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands., When I Wear My Alligator Boots is an ethnography of the drug industry's asymmetrical distribution of risks and rewards across the U.S.-Mexico border and beyond. Anthropologist Shaylih Muehlmann wrote intending to influence public opinion about drug policy, and she provides a powerful argument against US prohibition policies and the war on drugs., Muehlmann powerfully connects Mexico's rural economy to the broader economic policies of the region, including NAFTA, and to the politics of the drug war in the United States and Mexico., Captivating from beginning to end and is difficult to put down once you start reading it. . . . A valuable resource for borderland scholars, Latin Americanists, and students in different academic disciplines interested in learning about how drug trafficking creates a narco-culture in the U.S.Mexico borderlands.

Synopsis
When I Wear My Alligator Boots examines how the lives of dispossessed men and women are affected by the rise of narcotrafficking along the U.S.-Mexico border. In particular, the book explores a crucial tension at the heart of the "war on drugs": despite the violence and suffering brought on by drug cartels, for the rural poor in Mexico's north, narcotrafficking offers one of the few paths to upward mobility and is a powerful source of cultural meanings and local prestige. In the borderlands, traces of the drug trade are everywhere: from gang violence in cities to drug addiction in rural villages, from the vibrant folklore popularized in the narco-corridos of Norteña music to the icon of Jesús Malverde, the "patron saint" of narcos, tucked beneath the shirts of local people. In When I Wear My Alligator Boots, the author explores the everyday reality of the drug trade by living alongside its low-level workers, who live at the edges of the violence generated by the militarization of the war on drugs. Rather than telling the story of the powerful cartel leaders, the book focuses on the women who occasionally make their sandwiches, the low-level businessmen who launder their money, the addicts who consume their products, the mules who carry their money and drugs across borders, and the men and women who serve out prison sentences when their bosses' operations go awry., When I Wear My Alligator Boots examines how the lives of dispossessed men and women are affected by the rise of narcotrafficking along the U.S.-Mexico border.
