There's this classic work on the Yanomamo people of South America, and they make use of ayahuasca (I think, it's been a while since I read the book).
National Geographic wrote this article on contemporary use of ayahuasca. Not a scholarly article, but a pretty interesting anecdote.
Also, there's always Carlos Castaneda. He's pretty controversial in anthropology circles (lots of people have debunked his research as false), but I feel like his books are interesting reads, if nothing else.
This book is pretty good: http://www.amazon.com/Haiti-Aftershocks-History-Laurent-Dubois/dp/0805093354
Also, books on colonization in general would also be helpful to understand typical post-colonial issues. Albert Memmi's "The Colonizer and the Colonized" is excellent for this. Frantz Fanon's "Black Skin, White Masks" is another canonical text for post-colonial stuff.
Jeff Chang's Can't Stop Won't Stop might be a good place to start http://www.amazon.com/Cant-Stop-Wont-History-Generation/dp/0312425791
There is actually a decent amount of academic literature on hip-hop culture here in the States
