The Ganja Complex: Rastafari and Marijuana


Add your own review!

Overview

"This text welds together two decades of ethnographic research of marijuana in the Caribbean and the United States. Ansley Hamid juxtaposes an in-depth study of the spread of Rastafari in the 1970s with an examination of the rise of an international marijuana economy. This revisionist work emphasizes Rastafari as the ""hearts and minds"" behind both the Caribbean informal drug economy and the internationalisation of the ""ganja complex""."
