Engagingly written
Hamid's welcome study provides a comparison of ganja use and its distribution in San Fernando, Trinidad, and Brooklyn, New York. Chapters based on ethnography are engagingly written. Hamid does an excellent job of conveying Trinidadian street life in the 1970s. His treatment of Rastafarianism as a belief system, however, is dissapointing, and he makes few attempts to incorporate recent (post-1980s)research on Rastafarianism into his analysis. Recommended. Stephen D. Glazier, Adjunct Professor of Anthropology and Geography, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
