From Cachuela Esperanza to Guajará-Mirim: Resources, Scales and Transformations
Keywords:
Guajará-Mirim, drug markets, borders, rubber, longue duréeAbstract
The paper presents some traits of drug trafficking in the city of Guajará-Mirim (Rondônia) in relation to the circuits that cross the Mamoré River and the people involved in wholesale circuits. In order to understand the scale and organization of these circuits, a historical contextualization of Guajará-Mirim was carried out so that it could be articulated with longer-time histories about the exploration of other natural resources of the region. Such stories raise relevant questions to analyze the operation of illegal markets across international boundariesAdditional Files
