In The Ganja Complex Ansley Hamid skillfully welds together two
decades of ethnographic research on marijuana in the Caribbean and
the United States. Hamid juxtaposes an in-depth study of the spread
of Rastafari in the 1970s with an examination of the rise of an
international marijuana economy. This revisionist work departs
radically from previous scholarship by identifying Rastafari, not
as a messianic or millenarian cult, but as a participant in the
essential functions of a community's overall economic life. It
demonstrates how Rastafari has revitalized third-world economies
using indigenous resources, capital, and talent, and documents the
internationalization of the 5000-year-old Asian pattern of
marijuana use--centered about worship of the Hindu god Shiva--that
is the "ganja complex."
