In contrast, this study is based on five years of ethnographic fieldwork with Colombian drug traffickers (\u003cem\u003etraquetos\u003c\/em\u003e) in The Netherlands and Colombia. By spending long hours in salsa bars, churches, prisons, and prostitution streets, the author has uncovered the social world of \u003cem\u003etraquetos\u003c\/em\u003e: how and why they get involved in illicit activities, the nature of their work, the manner in which they relate to one another, and lastly how they organize their businesses. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is a lively, theoretically grounded study that defies common \u003cem\u003eclich駸\u003c\/em\u003e on  cartels' and leadership by legendary Mr Bigs. Instead, it highlights the complex, flexible, and heterogeneous nature of cocaine enterprises. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will not only be valued by criminologists, social scientists, drug researchers, policy makers, and organized crime scholars, but it will also be avidly read by those interested in Colombia, in the problems of \u003cem\u003eLatino\u003c\/em\u003e immigrants in Europe, and in the international cocaine business. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
