"Dealing
with Alcohol: Indigenous Usage in Australia, New Zealand and
Canada"
by Sherry Saggers and Dennis Gray
Saggers
and Gray's Dealing with Alcohol is a useful comparative
text that examines the economic and political contexts of
drinking alcohol among indigenous people in different settings
outside the U.S. It includes consideration of alcohol supply
and promotion, summarizes some of the negative consequences
of alcohol in indigenous communities, and describes programs
and policies aimed at reducing Aboriginal alcohol-related
problems. It is written academically but is not so dry as
to be utterly inaccessible to the non-specialist.
Dealing
with Alcohol: Indigenous Usage in Australia, New Zealand and
Canada. Sherry Saggers and Dennis
Gray. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
1998.
