Description: "Study of shamanism and use of hallucinogenic drugs in Antisuyo explores nature of shamanic trance, visions, and interpretation of dreams. Analysis is situated within broader anthropological theories of shamanism, finding that neither a social systems nor a cultural approach is sufficient. Instead, Carlos Castañeda's notion of 'another reality' is seen as a useful theoretical vehicle"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
