"The Pastoral Clinic" takes us on a penetrating journey into an
iconic Western landscape - northern New Mexico's Espanola Valley,
home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in
the United States. In a luminous narrative, Angela Garcia
chronicles the lives of several Hispano addicts, introducing us to
the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which
they are entangled. We discover how history pervades this region
that has endured centuries of material and cultural dispossession,
and we come to see its heroin problem as a contemporary expression
of these conditions, as well as a manifestation of the human desire
to be released from them. Lyrically evoking the Espanola Valley and
its residents through conversations, encounters, and recollections,
"The Pastoral Clinic" is at once a devastating portrait of
addiction, a rich ethnography of place, and an eloquent call for a
new ethics of care.
