Description: "Provocative study uses interviews and historical materials to support contention that both legal codification and folk songs serve to mythologize drug trafficking. Suggests that legal/political sector contributes to the myth by addressing drug trafficking in terms of good and evil, while corridos of drug dealers propagate the myth among the people, serving as a collective catharsis"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
