Résumé

If we see that our contemporary condition is one of war and widely diffused complexity, how do we understand our most basic ethical motivations ? What might be the aims of our political activity ? A War on People takes up these questions and offers a glimpse of a possible alternative future in this ethnographically and theoretically rich examination of the activity of some unlikely political actors : users of heroin and crack cocaine, both active and former.
The result is a groundbreaking book on how anti-drug war political activity offers transformative processes that are termed worldbuilding and enacts nonnormative, open, and relationally inclusive alternatives to such key concepts as community, freedom, and care.
