The Abandoned Narcotic: Kava and Cultural Instability in Melanesia - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Ron Brunton
Ron Brunton revives a problem posed by the great anthropologist W. H. R. Rivers in History of Melanesian Society (1914): how to explain the strange geographical distribution of kava, a narcotic drink once widely consumed by south-west Pacific islanders. He suggests that kava's abandonment can best be explained in terms of its association with unstable religious cults.
