Quais são os critérios para identificar quando o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas se tornou problemático? Os critérios biomédicos que definem a dependência ao álcool como uma patologia se aplicam a todos os contextos culturais? O uso do álcool é uma questão de contornos complexos, em especial quando se consideram os povos indígenas, entre os quais problemas relacionados ao uso de álcool aparecem como importantes problemas de saúde pública, embora a produção acadêmica nacional sobre o assunto ainda seja relativamente escassa. Como o álcool adquire uma variedade de funções em diferentes grupos sociais, a análise não pode se restringir à ingestão da bebida em si: é preciso relacionar o consumo a processos socioculturais e político-econômicos. É o que defendem os autores desta coletânea, que descreve e analisa as características específicas dos diversos modos de uso de álcool em diferentes povos indígenas brasileiros. Os capítulos trazem relatos teóricos, etnográficos, historiográficos e de intervenções culturalmente orientadas. Buscam superar os enfoques limitados aos aspectos patológicos do consumo de álcool: demonstram que os efeitos da bebida – sejam negativos, sejam positivos – não podem ser dissociados de seus aspectos sociais, econômicos e psicológicos. Essa complexidade aponta para a necessária complementaridade entre as perspectivas da biomedicina e as das ciências sociais, além de ratificar a importância do protagonismo indígena no enfrentamento dos problemas relacionados ao uso de bebidas alcoólicas.

"D'abord, il y a Clara, qui aimerait que son père ne soit pas "comme ça". Il y a aussi Leïla qui voudrait, elle, passer une soirée sans "penser à ça". Et Jérémy qui ne sait pas comment sauver sa mère de "ce truc-là". Et puis il y a Didier, l'auteur, le narrateur, qui cherche comment "parler de ça". Raconter les histoires des autres, c'est aller vers eux mais aussi tenter de creuser en soi, de se confronter à son propre vécu. Un silence ordinaire invite, dans une narration sincère et émouvante, non seulement à explorer et partager des récits de vies liés à l'alcoolisme, mais aussi à s'interroger sur la difficulté qui enferment le non-dit."--Page 4 of cover.
