In particular, issues of Muslim faith, gender prescriptions, socio-economics and hospitality will be explored in detail as they pertain to the ritual of mint tea consumption. The analysis will show that ultimately "what and how you drink is what you are." Understanding the particular consumptive practices of a culture is key to understanding what is considered to be "right" and "natural" behavior by individuals within that culture. | | Subject | : | Philosophy, religion and theology; Social sciences; Cultural anthropology; Religion; 0326:Cultural anthropology; 0318:Religion | | Added Entry | : | J.
