This is the first of three episodes in the Bioarchaeology, past, present, and future series. This series answers the question "what is bioarchaeology" in an understandable yet nuanced way. This episode, Addressing the Past, covers the basics of bioarchaeology, including how it differs from archaeology, basic methods used, and the history of physical anthropology. It also includes interviews with several prominent bioarchaeologists (Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr, Clark Larsen, and Dr. Haagen Klaus) about their take on the development of this field of study.

In this captivating episode of the Self Help Antidote, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Jon Marion, a distinguished expert with a PhD in psychological anthropology, a former instructor at the Somatic School in London, and a past chapter president of the International Coach Federation (ICF). Dr. Marion brings his profound insights into the complex interplay between individual growth, societal progress, and the essence of thriving in an ever-evolving world.Diving deep into the heart of what it means to truly progress and come together as a society, Dr. Marion challenges the conventional wisdom that cohesiveness and progress are always aligned. Through his unique lens, we explore the nuanced differences between forced unity and organic cohesiveness, shedding light on the intricate dance between being part of a society and finding personal fulfillment.At the core of our discussion is the concept of thriving—both for individuals and societies. Dr. Marion illuminates the distinction between mere societal membership and the deeper, more fulfilling notion of thriving, where structures support individuals to exceed their solitary potentials. He introduces us to the idea that we are not just biological beings but biocultural organisms, reliant on the transmission of ideas, knowledge, and technologies for our evolution.This episode takes you on a journey through the realms of biological and cultural evolution, highlighting the rapid pace of change in our societies and the critical importance of adaptability and generalized skills for thriving. Dr. Marion advocates for becoming specialists in learning and continually updating our "operating systems" to navigate the complexities of modern life.We delve into the essential roles of management and leadership, the unique value of coaching in fostering leadership and learning, and how coaches partner with individuals to illuminate their paths, allowing them to discover and decide their direction. Dr. Marion emphasizes that each individual is the expert of their own life, fully capable and intelligent, with coaches providing objective distance to explore new possibilities.Furthermore, Dr. Marion shares his insights on what effective leadership entails, the dangers of narrow-minded leadership perspectives, and the cognitive processes that lead people to make decisions even against evidence. He offers practical advice on staying connected to one's purpose and intentions during chaotic times through mindfulness and simple practices that anchor us to our desired selves in the present moment.Prepare to be inspired and challenged as Dr. Jon Marion guides us through the scariest, most destructive perspectives of a leader, the power of adaptability, and the practices that can ground us in who we aspire to be. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of modern life with grace, purpose, and a deep sense of fulfillment.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

Alonso Vera (Pata de perro)
Dealing with a serious or chronic health condition is hard enough — but what happens when that condition comes with moral judgment? That's the case for millions of people around the world. From obesity to lung cancer, sexually transmitted diseases to mental illness, stigmatized conditions are shrouded in shame and blame that can not only hinder treatment — but ruin lives. On this episode, we explore stigmatized health conditions — how they earn their reputations, affect the lives of patients, and complicate efforts to treat them. We hear about the flawed effort to track down the origin of the HIV epidemic in the U.S. that inadvertently introduced a new term into our language. We explore what researchers say is behind the “blame and shame” game in public health, and we find out why a man diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder says his condition isn't always as scary as people think. Also heard on this week's episode: Harvard obesity researcher and physician Fatima Cody Stanford talks about her campaign to change the way doctors interact — and sometimes judge — patients based on their weight. Biocultural/medical anthropologist Alex Brewis discusses her research on stigmatized health conditions — why we judge certain illnesses, what that stigma does to patients, and how it hinders global public health efforts. Brewis has co-authored a book called “Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health.” If there's one condition that seems to deserve its bad reputation, it's psychopathy — the turbocharged version of a personality disorder that's associated with violent crime, manipulation, and a chilling lack of remorse. But are psychopaths really as different as we think? Reporter Liz Tung talks with “Paul,” who has been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, about his rocky life journey.
Chris and Cara discuss underappreciated athletes before unpacking Big Data with Dr. Elizabeth Miller, an Associate Professor at the University of South Florida. Dr. Miller is a biological anthropologist interested in evolutionary and biocultural approaches to maternal and child health. Her research program spans the study of human milk composition and infant feeding practices, infant immune function in diverse ecologies, maternal iron homeostasis, and early microbiome maturation. In this episode, she breaks down her use of a biocultural approach to early growth using data from NHANES to test the effects of social inequalities on birth weight and later height and how it can be used to contextualize potential pathways of embodiment that link social structure and biology. Her latest publication can be found in AJHB, titled: A critical biocultural approach to early growth in the United States Find it here: https://doi.org/10.1002/ajhb.23726 ------------------------------ Dr. Miller's e-mail: emm3@usf.edu Twitter: @humanbiolab Website: https://humanbiolab.wordpress.com/ -------------------- Contact the Sausage of Science Podcast and Human Biology Association: Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/humanbiologyassociation Website:humbio.org/, Twitter: @HumBioAssoc Cara Ocobock, Website: sites.nd.edu/cara-ocobock/, Email:cocobock@nd.edu, Twitter:@CaraOcobock Chris Lynn, HBA Public Relations Committee Chair, Website: cdlynn.people.ua.edu/, Email: cdlynn@ua.edu, Twitter:@Chris_Ly Cristina Gildee, HBA Junior Fellow, SoS producer: E-mail: cgildee@uw.edu
Una conversación exquisita desde el sitio Ramsar Jaaukanigas con Vicente “Nano” Cuevas, un reconocido chef de pescados de río que comenzó como pescador artesanal para luego dedicarse por completo a la gastronomía. Actualmente deja un mensaje biocultural desde su proyecto “Cocina de río” que reúne talleres y cocina regional de peces, hierbas y frutos del humedal con músicxs y pintorxs locales recuperando, también, prácticas y visiones de los pueblos originarios. Hijo de pescadorxs, criado en el humedal que habita, Nano combina particularidades culinarias de la zona, como el “Sábalo a la mordaza” con técnicas de ahumado y despinado para aprovechar la gran diversidad de especias desde las Palometas o las Viejas de agua hasta las conocidas Bogas y Dorados. Un ejemplo de trabajo que aporta a contener la extinción de algunas especias debido a la sobrepesca.

Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
"We sometimes forget that the knowledge systems we use to conceptualize the world are not necessarily exactly the same thing as the world that we're conceptualizing. We mistake the model of the model for the thing that is being modeled. We mistake the map for the territory. We mistake the word for the thing." In this episode, we welcome Catriona Sandilands, a professor of environmental arts and justice at the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change, York University. Having written, edited, or co-edited four books and close to 100 essays and articles, her research areas include queer and feminist posthumanities, critical plant studies, biocultural histories, ecocriticism, and public environmental engagement through literature and storytelling. Some of the topics we explore in this conversation include cultivating plurality within the stories we tell, remembering histories of reciprocity coming from Western traditions, the connection between how we relate to the more-than-human world and our views of and experiences with sexuality, and more.

As the world comes to embrace the healing potential of sacred medicines, how do we ensure the original stewards of these medicines are uplifted, honored, and supported in this search for our collective healing? If we envision a future where indigenous peoples, their medicines, & traditional knowledge are honored, respected, and supported to thrive for generations to come then what specific actions can we take to do no harm, to truly be in right-relationship with these cultures? On today's episode I speak with Miriam Volat and Cody Swift of The Riverstyx Foundation and the Indigenous Medicine Conservation Fund about it's origin story, the Native American and other indigenous communities around the world it supports, plant medicine conservation & how to begin to be in right relationship with indigenous cultures. This is an extremely complex topic, and these two emphasize that they are still LEARNING, and LISTENING, and part of what you'll hear and learn on this episode, is about the serious biocultural crisis happening across the planet for these traditional knowledge holding communities as they lose access to land, plant medicine, and even their own language. We answer questions like, what does “right relationship” mean? What does “do-no-harm” mean? What is a bioculture? What does “solidarity-based support” mean? We get into the details of how are funds utilized and organized, how are assessments conducted in these indigenous communities and how are their voices being amplified? In this episode we all expand our perception and outlook on what it means to support indigenous communities and the sacred medicines of the planet, and to remind us that we are all one family sharing the sacred responsibility and commitment to thrive on Earth together. https://lauradawn.co/free-music-playlists/ (4 Free Playlists For Psychedelic Journeys & Beyond) https://lauradawn.co/free-microdosing-course/ (Free 8 Day Microdosing Course) https://instagram.com/livefreelaurad (Follow @LiveFreeLauraD on Instagram) Resources Mentioned https://www.ipc.fund (https://www.IPC.fund) https://growmedicine.com/ (https://growmedicine.com/) https://www.narf.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwyYKUBhDJARIsAMj9lkGoG9xOvWAzWJEia6J1OQ4OfHrNd7LyM-HZ02bilNwPvr8Q2gItbhoaAh3VEALw_wcB (Native American Rights Fund - NARF ) https://www.lauradawn.co/44 (Click here to access this episode's page complete with a full transcript, more about the author, and complete list of resources.)

Drawing upon data from an ongoing ethnographic study of embodiment and emotion in everyday interaction among cohabitating couples in the U.S., this presentation engages with key theoretical and methodological questions involved in conducting ethnographic research at the intersection of linguistic and biocultural anthropology. My discussion, specifically, focuses on video-recordings of naturally occurring interaction in couples' homes alongside time-matched psychophysiological data on moment-to-moment shifts in each partners' respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) —an aspect of heart rate variability (HRV)—gathered with a mobile impedance cardiography device (Mindware Technologies, Ltd. Westerville, OH). In analyzing video data, I demonstrate how the theories and methods of linguistic anthropology complicate a quantitative approach to emotion-in-interaction that often hinges upon the identification of specific, discrete “emotions” and/or designation of particular interactions as either “conflict” or “agreement” (see, e.g., Gottman & Driver 2005, Cribbit 2013, Han et al. 2021). Emphasizing the co-emergence of emotion-in-interaction, this talk thus foregrounds the multimodal ways in which talk-in-interaction constitutes an intersubjective, embodied process of co-operative action as people variably orient to being co-present with one another in any environment (Goodwin 2018). Asking how couples' RSA values, as quantitative data, might complement and/or productively complicate rather than “reduce” such an analysis, this talk thus centers the question of how we might unsettle the binary between quantia and qualia in ethnographic research more broadly (Shweder 1996).

In this episode Michael speaks with Dr. Noa Kekuewa Lincoln, a professor in the department of tropical plant and soil sciences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Noa's specialty areas include biogeochemistry, ethnography, and archaeology of traditional farming methods. Noa tells Michael about his work on Hawaiian farming systems and the Hawaiian concept of Kuleana as a combination of both a right to and respect for the environment. Noa also talks about the intrinsic power of stories and the importance of interdisciplinary work in enabling us to tell compelling stories about our relationship with the environment.

Today we speak with linguist and anthropologist Dr. Luisa Maffi about the concept of biocultural diversity. In 1995, Dr. Luisa Maffi and David Harmon explored the idea of how cultural diversity, language diversity, and biodiversity are all interconnected. If we were to lose a culture or language then we would see the negative effects in our biodiversity as well. Ultimately, this understanding led Dr. Luisa Maffi, David Harmon and some team members to create Terralingua - an international non-profit dedicated to sustaining the diversity of life in nature and culture. Dr. Luisa Maffi is now the director of Terralingua and continues to explore the “connections between language and the way language expresses the way of thinking and acting of a given culture. In particular, the way it expresses and codifies the ways of thinking and acting towards the environment.” If you have any stories to help contribute to the understanding of biocultural diversity or are interested in hearing authentic stories from people across the globe then check out Dr.Luisa Maffi's Langscape Magazine. It is an annual online publication that further explores the interconnectivity of biocultural diversity. To learn more about Terralingua visit their website. Terralingua's Twitter: @TerralinguaBCD.

Today on the Psychedelic Spotlight podcast, we speak with Joseph Mays. He is an ethnobotanist, researcher, and the Program Director of Chacruna's Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative. Here, he conducts research and builds connections with small Indigenous communities throughout the Americas to support Chacruna's mission of increasing cultural reciprocity in the psychedelic space.In our conversation with Joseph, we chat a bit about some critical topics such as how psychedelics can allow us to understand the Indigenous philosophy of interrelatedness between one another and our ecosystems, the importance of considering sacred reciprocity to Indigenous peoples and their land, and how Chacruna's Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative is making it simple for companies to give back to the societies who have cultivated psychedelic medicine.*To learn more about Chacruna, visit their website: Chacruna.net*Subscribe to our newsletter to get the latest industry news: PsychedelicSpotlight.com
Tercer Paisaje es un colectivo formado por Arturo Tapia, Fernando Morales, María Rodríguez y Nazaret Expósito. Y más que un proyecto, en palabras del propio Fernando, Tercer Paisaje es un concepto: una nueva forma de relacionarnos con el entorno que habitamos, con los paisajes que nos rodean y que han perdido su identidad; los paisajes inciertos. En este episodio de Co3 hablamos con Fernando Morales, activista climático e investigador, y Arturo Tapia, educador y dinamizador cultural, sobre acción, cambio y regeneración del entorno biocultural.
ENTREVISTAS LITORALES. Marcos Ferrer, deportista y poblador de la zona del arroyo El Pescado. Es director de la revista de deportes de aventura Andar Extremo y coordina el programa Buenos Aires Aventura desde el 2014. Hace años que organiza carreras de aventura en diferentes entornos naturales cercanos a la ciudad de La Plata. Gracias a una competencia, conoció el arroyo El Pescado y comenzó a navegarlo cotidianamente desde el 2011, fascinado por la biodiversidad de esta gran cuenca periurbana. A medida que lo transitaba, Marcos se encontró con algunos "embudos" en el cauce natural donde se acumulaba basura. En conversación con #RadioMutante, marca ese momento como el inicio de una lucha que lo lleva, por ejemplo, a impulsar limpiezas periódicas para preservar el humedal más importante del anillo Biocultural del Gran La Plata. La cuenca del arroyo fue declarada hace más de 20 años “Paisaje Protegido”, sin embargo Marcos como otros habitantes de la región, aún esperan que se forme la "Comisión de Cuenca" para garantizar dicha protección y analizar algunas situaciones que amenazan esta zona fundamental para la vida de muchos seres humanos y no-humanos.

Green Dreamer: Sustainability and Regeneration From Ideas to Life
*We need your support to continue the show! If you've listened to more than a few episodes and have learned from our work, please join our Patreon today: www.greendreamer.com/support Dr. Luisa Maffi is a pioneer of the concept of biocultural diversity—which is the intertwined diversity of life in nature and culture. In 1996, she co-founded Terralingua, which is an international nonprofit devoted to sustaining biocultural diversity. And she currently heads the organization and edits its flagship publication, Langscape Magazine. In this podcast episode, Dr. Maffi sheds light on what it means to champion a new type of extinction rebellion—namely, a biocultural extinction rebellion; how all of our current forms of political and economic frameworks—socialism, communism, capitalism, and so on—all share a common worldview of natural resources; what might be at stake if we continued to try to only address biodiversity loss without at the same time preserving cultural and language diversity; and more.

This is a segment of episode #268 of Last Born In The Wilderness “Nurturing Our Humanity: The Biocultural Partnership-Domination Lens w/ Dr. Riane Eisler.” Listen to the full episode: http://bit.ly/LBWeisler Learn more about the Center for Partnership Studies and Partnerism: https://centerforpartnership.org / https://www.partnerism.org Subscribe to Kollibri terre Sonnenblume’s podcast Voices For Nature & Peace: https://radiofreesunroot.com Partnership and domination — paradigms that stand at either end of what humanity has been capable of producing in societies and cultures throughout human history. Dr. Riane Eisler's decades of groundbreaking research into the roots of each of these paradigms has lifted the veil of what human beings are truly capable of — expanding our view of what "human nature" really is — by drawing on numerous sources of research from anthropology, archeology, psychology, and more. As she elaborates in this interview, dominator societies are "trauma factories" that reproduce trauma intergenerationally, and that these dynamics play out within the bounds of the "left vs. right" sociopolitical paradigm we operate within. To truly allow a partnership paradigm to gain prominence again, we must address the root causes that allow dominator systems to maintain their hold, which includes examining the relationship between genders as well as the earliest stages of childhood development. Dr. Riane Eisler is a social systems scientist, cultural historian, and attorney whose research, writing, and speaking has transformed the lives of people worldwide. Her newest work, ‘Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future,’ co-authored with anthropologist Douglas Fry, shows how to construct a more equitable, sustainable, and less violent world based on partnership rather than domination. She is internationally known for her bestseller ‘The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future,’ now in 27 foreign editions and 57 U.S. printings. Her book on economics, ‘The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics,’ was hailed by Archbishop Desmond Tutu as “a template for the better world we have been so urgently seeking” and by Jane Goodall as “a call to action.” Other books drawing from Eisler’s research include her award-winning ‘Tomorrow’s Children,’ ‘Sacred Pleasure,’ and ‘Women, Men, and the Global Quality of Life,’ statistically documenting the key role of women’s status in a nation’s quality of life. Through the Center for Partnership Studies’ Caring Economy Campaign she developed new metrics demonstrating the economic value of caring for people, starting in early childhood, and of caring for nature.

[Intro: 7:30] In this episode, Kollibri terre Sonnenblume and I speak with Dr. Riane Eisler — social systems scientist, cultural historian, and attorney. She is the author of numerous books, including most famously ‘The Chalice and The Blade: Our History, Our Future,’ and most recently ‘Nurturing Our Humanity: How Domination and Partnership Shape Our Brains, Lives, and Future,’ co-authored with anthropologist Douglas Fry. Kollibri is the host of the Voices For Nature & Peace podcast, and this interview will be released on both of our respective programs.

Hawaiian Science: Biocultural Restoration of an Ahupua‘awith Dr. Kawika Winter, reserve manager at the He‘eia National Estuarine Research ReserveRecorded Thursday, March 21, 2019 in the Hawaiian Hall AtriumExplore large-scale biocultural restoration and traditional resource management in the largest sheltered body of water in the Hawaiian Islands. The reserve protects unique ecosystems including the He‘eia Stream, coral reefs, sand flats, an ancient Hawaiian fishpond, as well as traditional agricultural and heritage lands. It is home to the endangered Hawaiian stilt, moorhen, coot, duck and hoary bat. Winter speaks about the effect of a typically Western scientific approach compared with Native Hawaiian management practices.

This is a special episode where Annie, Turtle, and their fellow grad-student Kaya DeerInWater came together for a "workshop" on this idea of bringing worldviews together for biocultural restoration. We talk about Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Scientific Ecological Knowledge, how these are different/similar, and some examples of successful projects we've come across in our graduate studies. Interestingly enough, we didn't really do much of a workshop... mostly due to the 50-minute timeframe we were working with. But also because we put this together on short notice and overestimated how much we could actually get done. It worked out well though! We were able to get through the content and at least engage with the audience a little bit. The audio was recorded live so bear with us on some of the strange sound levels you might encounter. This is a cool episode and we hope you enjoy!

Today's episode is all about restoration… specifically, Biocultural Restoration and how this field of science brings different disciplines into a synthesized approach. This approach aims to restore and revitalize both ecosystems and the cultures that were originally responsible for them. We discuss everything from our experience with this field of study in our graduate program to definitions and paradigms that surround ecological restoration. We also go over some of the drawbacks to ecological restoration, how biocultural restoration addresses these drawbacks, and how all of this relates to bringing worldviews together and integrating knowledge systems. Some of the main ideas we talk about are: - It's important for everyone to have a seat at the table... this includes scientists, managers, and the community they're working with. - What's missing from ecological restoration... an ongoing Cultural Context - Restoration Ecology Myths: Carbon Copy and Sysiphus Complex - Definitions of ecological, biocultural, and reciprocal restoration - The value of other worldviews and working together - Integrating different Ways of Knowing ~ Resources: [The Myths of Ecological Restoration (article)](http://www.researchgate.net/publication/279891961_The_Myths_of_Restoration_Ecology) [Restoration Ecology: The State of an Emerging Field (article)](http://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/c04d/efa922d0ff40c938564e663b6cd3aa5c5bd7.pdf) [Ecological Restoration (textbook)](http://www.amazon.com/Ecological-Restoration-Susan-M-Galatowitsch/dp/0878936076) [Tropical Ecological and Biocultural Restoration (article)](http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Daniel_Janzen2/publication/6070586_Tropical_Ecological_and_Biocultural_Restoration/links/564d068d08ae1ef9296a775f/Tropical-Ecological-and-Biocultural-Restoration.pdf) [Restoration and Reciprocity: The Contributions of Traditional Ecological Knowledge](http://www.researchgate.net/publication/226214585_Restoration_and_Reciprocity_The_Contributions_of_Traditional_Ecological_Knowledge) [Indigenous and Western Science Workshop at SUNY-ESF](http://www.twoways2know.blogspot.com/) [American Indian Science and Engineering Society National Conference](http://www.conference.aises.org/) ~ [Like this show?

In episode 17, we interview Kathy Oths and Hannah Smith from the University of Alabama about their recent AJHB article “A decade of rapid change: Biocultural influences on child growth in highland Peru” (Vol. 30, Issue 2, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ajhb.23072). Oths is Professor of Anthropology, and Smith is a Master’s student in the program working with Dr. Oths. In this interview, we talk to Oths and Smith about Oths’ long-term work on traditional healers and the impact of travel on birth size, growth, and health in highland Peru, including her perilous flight from the Shining Path at the end of her dissertation work in the 1980s. Smith has been data analyst and accompanied Oths in recent fieldwork in Peru. For more about Oths, go to her website: http://koths.people.ua.edu/.

In this episode Frédérique Apffel-Marglin speaks with Joanna about: the rhythmic connection between humans and the cosmos; a paradize for medicinal and psychoactive plants; origin of the Sachamama Center for Biocultural regeneration; rediscovering the pre-Columbian, anthropogenic "terra preta" (black earth); encountering the Sacred in the most visceral way; healed by the icaros (sacred songs); initiation by the Spirits; healing the inner and outer landscape; towards a holistic, cosmocentric worldview; the complexity of the ayahuasca ceremonies; reverse anthropology on "subversive spiritualities". The post A Biocultural Regeneration appeared first on Future Primitive Podcasts.

We now recognize that our brains are more plastic than once imagined. Research in neurobiology has shown that how our brains function is shaped by reciprocal influences between genetics, development, behavior, culture, and environment. However, much of this research has been done in laboratory and clinical settings, without concurrent examination of how brains vary in the wild. This talk will outline the field of neuroanthropology using prominent examples including addiction and balance, and then reflect on how this synergy of neuroscience and anthropology emerged out of the biocultural approach pioneered at Emory.

Khat, the fresh leaves of the plant Catha edulis, is a mild psycho-stimulant. It has been consumed in Yemen, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia for over one thousand years. Khat consumption is an important part of Yemeni social and political life. During the early part of the twentieth century, Yemeni dockworkers brought khat to Madagascar, where other members of the Malagasy population have adopted its use. In her excellent book Drug Effects: Khat in Biocultural and Socioeconomic Perspective (Left Coast Press, 2012), Lisa L. Gezon, Professor and Chair in the Department of Anthropology, University of West Georgia, analyzes the production and consumption of Khat on the island nation of Madagascar. Taking a cultural, medical, and anthropological approach, Gezon looks at the use of khat in pharmacological, cultural, political, economic and environmental contexts.As a student of plant drugs/medicines/intoxicants, her summary of the manner in which khat’s effects have been mischaracterized by many so called experts has echoes of reefer madness inspired characterizations of cannabis and its users.Like so many drugs, khat is a powerful force in the local economy, and the factors that have allowed khat to provide income for small hold farmers rather than becoming part of a centralized and commercial monoculture are worthy of further analysis. In addition to teaching me about the specifics of khat consumption in Madagascar, the background material provided a great primer on CMA approaches to substance use, as well as on the history, pharmacology and policy surrounding Catha edulis. I have been thinking a great deal about the economic forces that influence the consumption and availability of drugs.There are similarities and differences between poppy production in Afghanistan or the Golden Triangle, cannabis production in the Emerald Triangle, and khat production in Madagascar.The peaceful and widely distributed economic benefits of smallholder farming on Madagascar make this study particularly fascinating. Lisa Gezon was a pleasure to interview, and was very patient with my still developing interviewing skills.Her research included extensive field work as well as research, and the book is almost encyclopedic in its synthesis of the literature, the findings of her studies as well as her excellent and insightful analysis.
