The War on Drugs
Illustration for the article "The War on Drugs", published in the winter issue of America, a French magazine that tells the United States in the first term of the Trump presidency with a literary and critical cut, weaving narrative, reportage, essays, and images.
Don Winslow demolisce half a century of "war on drugs": a crusade that has filled prisons, militarized the police, and transformed repression into a business, eroding freedom and rights, especially for minorities. For him, the only way to reverse course is to treat addiction as a public health and social pain problem, decriminalize drugs, and invest in schools, work, and communities.
