Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender, substance use, and cultural identity with this anthropological examination from Routledge. Why do patterns of alcohol and drug consumption differ so dramatically between men and women across societies? This book draws on social anthropology to offer fresh insights into addiction and gender construction, arguing that gender itself is fundamentally a cultural matter rather than a biological absolute. Through ethnographic chapters spanning from Ancient Rome to modern Japan, the author demonstrates how any substance-whether alcohol, tea, or heroin-cannot be understood outside its cultural context. Ideal for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, women's studies, and medical anthropology seeking to understand how social structures and cultural norms shape substance use patterns globally.

Key Features

Social anthropological framework challenges biological determinism by positioning gender as fundamentally a cultural construct.

Comprehensive exploration of addiction patterns between men and women within diverse social and cultural environments.
