The Peyote Cult
Weston Le Barre
Few Ph.D. dissertations have become successful commercial publications and then remained in popular demand for 39 years. La Barre’s The Peyote Cult has achieved that remarkable record.
The greatest importance of La Barre’s The Peyote Cult is its bibliographies, 454 titles in 1938, 500 additional in 1969, and 281 more in 1975. Anyone writing about Peyotism must start with La Barre. La Barre’s theoretical positions remain intact after 40 years. His theories and methods are those of ethnopsychology, or maybe they should be characterized as ethno-Freudianism.
