The practice of curanderismo, or Mexican American folk medicine, is
part of a historically and culturally important health care system
deeply rooted in native Mexican healing techniques. This is the
first book to describe the practice from an insider's point of
view, based on the authors' three-year apprenticeships with
curanderos (healers). Robert T. Trotter and Juan Antonio Chavira
present an intimate view of not only how curanderismo is practiced
but also how it is learned and passed on as a healing tradition. By
providing a better understanding of why curanderos continue to be
in demand despite the lifesaving capabilities of modern medicine,
this text will serve as an indispensable resource to health
professionals who work within Mexican American communities, to
students of transcultural medicine, and to urban ethnologists and
medical anthropologists.
