Beskrivning

Ayahuasca is a psychoactive drink used for healing and divination among religious groups in the Brazilian Amazon. 'Ayahuasca, Ritual and Religion in Brazil' is the first scholarly volume in English to examine the religious rituals and practices surrounding ayahuasca. The use of ayahuasca among religious groups is analysed, alongside Brazilian public policies regarding ayahuasca and the handling of substance dependence. 'Ayahuasca, Ritual and Religion in Brazil' will be of interest to scholars of anthropology and religion and all those interested in the role of stimulants in religious practice.

Recensioner i media

'In its own way, each of the chapters collected here contributes to the ongoing journey of ayahuasca religiosity toward full and equal recognition as a legitimate mode of religious expression. Although writing and researching a variety of issues at play in contemporary Brazilian society, Bia Labate and Edward McRae has each earned an academic reputation as an insightful commentator upon one or more aspects relating to the emergence, spread and consolidation of ayahuasca religion in Brazil.' From the Foreword by Andrew Dawson, Lancaster University
