Ayahuasca is a psychoactive substance that has long been associated
with indigenous Amazonian shamanic practices. The recent rise of
the drink's visibility in the media and popular culture, and its
rapidly advancing inroads into international awareness, mean that
the field of ayahuasca is quickly expanding. This expansion brings
with it legal problems, economic inequalities, new forms of ritual
and belief, cultural misunderstandings, and other controversies and
reinventions. In The World Ayahuasca Diaspora, leading scholars,
including established academics and new voices in anthropology,
religious studies, and law fuse case-study ethnographies with
evaluations of relevant legal and anthropological knowledge. They
explore how the substance has impacted indigenous communities, new
urban religiosities, ritual healing, international drug policy,
religious persecution, and recreational drug milieus. This unique
book presents classic and contemporary issues in social science and
the humanities, providing rich material on the bourgeoning
expansion of ayahuasca use around the globe.
