Ayahuasca, Ritual and Religion in Brazil examines the emergence of
religious groups in the Brazilian Amazon who constitute their
systems of ritual, myth and principles around the use of a
psychoactive brew known by diverse names, one of which is the
Quechua term ayahuasca. Although the study of these religious
movements has seen much development in recent decades there are
still few publications in English, especially in the area of
anthropology. This collection, containing many articles previously
published only in Portuguese, explains the research conducted in
Brazil. It shows a representative sample of the main types of
approaches that have been used and also offers an overview of the
historical development of this field of research in Brazil,
especially from the perspective of the human sciences. This volume
makes explicit what the study of the ayahuasca religions can
contribute to classical and contemporary issues in anthropology. It
presents a varied set of ethnographic approaches employed in the
initial mapping of this phenomenon, establishing its historical and
cultural origins. It also provides a basis to develop future work
on these religions, both in their original contexts and in their
expansion throughout Brazil and the world.
