Covering a wide range of substances, including opium, cocaine,
coffee, tobacco, kola, and betelnut, from prehistory to the present
day, this new edition has been extensively updated, with an updated
bibliography and two new chapters on cannabis and khat. Consuming
Habits is the perfect companion for all those interested in how
different cultures have defined drugs across the ages.
Psychoactive substances have been central to the formation of
civilizations, the definition of cultural identities, and the
growth of the world economy. The labelling of these substances as
'legal' or 'illegal' has diverted attention away from understanding
their important cultural and historical role. This collection
explores the rich analytical category of psychoactive substances
from challenging historical and anthropological perspectives.
