title = {Visionary Art of the Americas},
year = {2023},
note = {Unlike their European predecessors, many Latin American and North
American authors turned to hallucinatory substances as elements of
their own hemispheric heritage. The twentieth-century narratives
analyzed in Visionary Art of the Americas: Hemispheric
Transculturations, Hallucinogens, Politics, Aesthetics, and Mass
Consumer Culture in the United States, Mexico, and Colombia acquire
their true depth only within a much wider realm of visionary
traditions spanning Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Socially and
culturally marginalized alongside users,
hallucinogens—simultaneously a colonial anathema and a sacred
pre-Columbian ritual—have gained increased mainstream acceptance.
The various films and texts analyzed in this book attest to the true
heterogeneity of hallucinogenic experience in the Americas at a time
when scholarly attention to hallucination and visions as a survival
adaptation of organic intelligence is crucial to understand its
differences from A.I.},
