My cocaine museum

In this book, a make-believe cocaine museum becomes a vantage point from which to asses the lives of Afro-Colombian gold miners drawn into the dangerous world of cocaine production in the rain forest of Colombia´s Pacific Coast. Althoug modeled on the famous Gold Museum in Colombia´s central bank, The Banco de la República, Taussig´s museum is also a parody aimed at the museum´s failure to acknowledge the African slaves who mined the country´s wealth for almost four hundred years.
