Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender and substance use through a unique anthropological lens. This Routledge publication addresses fundamental questions regarding why certain populations feel compelled to consume alcohol or drugs and why patterns of consumption often differ between men and women. By applying ideas from social anthropology, the text provides a fresh perspective on addiction. The introduction examines how gender and addiction are linked, arguing that gender itself is a cultural matter that influences even biological perceptions. This book moves beyond simple statistics to look at the cultural frameworks that shape human behavior. Through diverse ethnographic chapters, the book examines various societies and time periods, ranging from Ancient Rome to modern Japan. Readers will see how different substances - including alcohol, tea, and heroin - are integrated into the social fabric of different cultures. This is an essential read for students and professionals interested in the intersection of sociology, anthropology, and the study of human behavior.
