The sixteenth-century encounter between Mesoamericans and Europeans
resulted in a tremendous loss of life in indigenous communities and
significantly impacted their health and healing strategies.
Contributors to this special issue of Ethnohistory address how
indigenous people experienced bodily health in the wake of this
encounter. By exploring archival indigenous and Spanish-language
documents, contributors address how bodily health was experienced
in the wake of the European encounter and uncover transformations
of health discourses and experiences of illness. They investigate
eclectic healing practices and medical chants; changing notions of
the causes of illnesses; and the language of cleansing ceremonies,
bone-setting, midwifery, and maternal medicine. Contributors.
