Ilan Stavans has amassed a collection of cutting-edge articles that
inform readers about how Latinos navigate both the mainstream
medical arena and culturally specific healing traditions. This work
highlights the myriad problems Latinos face in becoming fully
acculturated consumers of health care. Its series of chapters by
expert contributors bridges the communication gap between
mainstream medical professionals who need to understand the Latino
worldview and Latinos that need to adapt to the puzzling complexity
of providers and insurers that make up the American health care
system. Backed by research using quantitative methods and other
techniques, Health Care's seven chapters cover topics ranging from
infant care to teenage dating and sexual mores to prescription
medication use by older adults. Much of the coverage focuses on
problems of access and the ways in which Latinos move between
mainstream health care, and the world of traditional remedies
provided by botanicas (shops specializing in herbs and other
healing items) and curanderos (folk healers). Includes seven
chapters on the major issues concerning Latino access to quality
health care in the United States 18 contributors-noted scholars
providing their insights under the editorial direction of Ilan
Stavans
