This chapter explores how Hispano families in northern New Mexico have reworked the traditional application of inheritance, referring to property passed down the generations, to conceive of heroin addiction as “inherited.” It shows how this emerging formation of inheritance is shaped by, and speaks to, past configurations of property and belonging. It also reflects on intergenerational addiction as a modality of connection and continuity, but one that is entangled with experiences of cultural dispossession and loss.

Keywords:   New Mexico, inheritance, dispossession, addiction
