Summary
Two works examine the appropriation of Indigenous healing practices. The first, 'Die enteignete Heilerin' (The Expropriated Healer), focuses on the Mazatec shaman Maria Sabina, whose use of psilocybin mushrooms was co-opted by outsiders. The second, 'Vier Enteignungen, ein Muster' (Four Expropriations, One Pattern), compares the appropriation of peyote, ayahuasca, salvia, and iboga, arguing that a common pattern of colonial and capitalist expropriation underlies these cases.
