’It is not easy to gather original and highly stimulating material in a research area that for decades has given us an avalanche of information, analysis and policy suggestions. Pan-African Issues in Drugs and Drug Control manages to do so, for its specific focus on people of African descent, its cutting across geographical, racial, ethnic, class and gender boundaries, and its dealing with drug issues as a global phenomenon. The book is an invaluable addition to the international comparative body of knowledge on the subject matter. Congratulations to the authors!’ Vincenzo Ruggiero, Middlesex University, UK ’Pan-African Issues in Drugs and Drug Control has effectively brought to the front burner some very critical realities associated with the need for proper examination and understanding of the diverse dimensions of this discourse. Drug supply being demand-driven is reiterated. The in-depth analyses on drug control policy and practice measures from both Africans at home and in the diaspora and the attendant consequences for the victims, their relations and communities is highly commendable. The authors have successfully threaded together invaluable materials, especially the rich contributions from the seven African countries, which make this compendium a MUST read.’ Ngozi Osarenren, University of Lagos, Nigeria
