Résumé : | The Island of Réunion, presently a French Department, in the Indian Ocean, has a polyethnic population of diverse origins: the descendants of African slaves and indentured laborers from India (principally from the south); Chinese and Europeans (principally from metropolitan France). Cannabis, known as zamal, grown in cane fields and gardens, has been used ritually and medicinally, but these usages appear to be disappearing. Traditional secular use continues clandestinely among certain ethnic groups. Contacts with metropolitan France and the changing social structure have introduced "modern" uses of zamal, as a narcotic, among literary circles and groups of young people. The man-plant relationship differs in the ritual and narcotic uses. (Author' s abstract) |
