"This is the classical study of the background of the Mexican and American Indian ritual based on the plant that produces profound but temporary sensory and psychic derangements. Acid-heads and mind-blowing cultists will find much thought-food in this careful anthropological work, and in the author's new preface, with its penetrating appraisal of the use of artificial psychedelic drugs as instruments of revolt... The study started when the author was twenty-four; he participated in the rites of fifteen tribes using Lophophora williamsii (Lemaire), a small, spineless, carrot-shaped cactus growing in the Rio Grande Valley and southward. The original study has been supplemented by two essays that bring the account up to 1964, including a report of the Timothy Leary-Richard Alpert "débacle" at Harvard in 1963."-- Back cover.

Ron Athey is one of the most important, prolific, and influential performance artists of the past four decades. A singular example of lived creativity, his radical performances are odds with the art worlds and art marketplaces that have increasingly dominated contemporary art and performance art over the period of his career.

Emphasizing the ephemeral and largely uncollectible nature of his work, the book places Athey's own writing at its center, turning to memoir, memory recal...
