In rural Mexico, people often say that Alzheimer's does not exist.
""People do not have Alzheimer's because they don't need to
worry,"" said one Oaxacan, explaining that locals lack the stresses
that people face ""over there"" - that is, in the modern world.
Alzheimer's and related dementias carry a stigma. In contrast to
the way elders are revered for remembering local traditions,
dementia symbolizes how modern families have forgotten the communal
values that bring them together. In Caring for the People of the
Clouds, psychologist Jonathan Yahalom provides an emotionally
evocative, story-rich analysis of family caregiving for Oaxacan
elders living with dementia. Based on his extensive research in a
Zapotec community, Yahalom presents the conflicted experience of
providing care in a setting where illness is steeped in stigma and
locals are concerned about social cohesion. Traditionally, the
Zapotec, or ""people of the clouds,"" respected their elders and
venerated their ancestors. Dementia reveals the difficulty of
upholding those ideals today. Yahalom looks at how dementia is
understood in a medically pluralist landscape, how it is treated in
a setting marked by social tension, and how caregivers endure
challenges among their families and the broader community. Yahalom
argues that caregiving involves more than just a response to human
dependency; it is central to regenerating local values and family
relationships threatened by broader social change. In so doing, the
author bridges concepts in mental health with theory from medical
anthropology. Unique in its interdisciplinary approach, this book
advances theory pertaining to cross-cultural psychology and
develops anthropological insights about how aging, dementia, and
caregiving disclose the intimacies of family life in Oaxaca.
