Description

The Master Plant examines tobacco's profound role in indigenous cultures across lowland South America, where it functions as a sacred agent in shamanic ritual and a cornerstone of health, wellbeing and community life. This Routledge book presents a nuanced exploration that contrasts sharply with contemporary public health criticism of the tobacco industry, instead considering tobacco as a complex force capable of both enlightenment and destruction. Through focused anthropological study, the work contributes essential insights into how indigenous peoples integrate this master plant into their spiritual practices, daily health management and social structures. The Master Plant offers scholars, anthropologists and students of indigenous cultures a comprehensive examination of tobacco's multifaceted significance beyond Western medical discourse.
