New ethnographic data leads to insights into the widespread yet understudied phenomenon of criminal extortion in Latin America.

Recenzje

'Resisting Extortion is a careful, thorough, and extraordinary reexamination of how people create security where the state cannot ensure the rule of law. Moncada's multicountry ethnography of extortion and security networks should be on the reading list of any scholar working with themes of security, violence, organized crime, the rule of law, or qualitative political science.' Calla Hummel, Latin American Politics and Society
