Alucinógenos y cultura

Record summary

The edited volume Alucinógenos y cultura, associated with Mexican anthropological scholarship on hallucinogenic plants and ritual, is a lead for comparing visions, sacred narratives, and claims about contact with nonhuman beings. Its relevance lies in the interaction between Indigenous traditions, colonial descriptions, and twentieth-century ethnobotanical interpretation. Verification should establish the exact editor, edition, chapters, and field sites, because similarly titled Spanish and English publications circulate and later popular writing often exaggerates evidence for supernatural meanings.
