Following on from the earlier edited collection, \u003cem\u003eThe Expanding World Ayahuasca Diaspora\u003c\/em\u003e continues to explore how certain alternative global religious groups, shamanic tourism industries and recreational drug milieus grounded in the consumption of the traditionally Amazonian psychoactive drink ayahuasca embody various challenges associated with modern societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach contributor explores the symbolic effects of a \"bureaucratization of enchantment\" in religious practice, and the \"sanitizing\" of indigenous rituals for tourist markets. Chapters include ethnographic investigations of ritual practice, transnational religious ideology, the politics of healing and the invention of tradition. Larger questions on the commodification of ayahuasca and the categories of sacred and profane are also addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring classic and contemporary issues in social science and the humanities, this book provides rich material on the bourgeoning expansion of ayahuasca use around the globe. As such, it will appeal to students and academics in religious studies, anthropology, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, biology, ecology, law and conservation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beatriz Caiuby Labate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415786185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415786188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Beatriz Caiuby Labate","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086653927679,"sku":"9780415786188","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a25a9c57-413c-4904-b1f5-e16213d21f3a.jpg?v=1769095835","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-expanding-world-ayahuasca-diaspora-beatriz-caiuby-labate-9780415786188","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
