Healing practices in Mesoamerica span a wide
range, from traditional folk medicine with roots reaching back into the
prehispanic era to westernized biomedicine. These sometimes cooperating,
sometimes competing practices have attracted attention from researchers
and the public alike, as interest in alternative medicine and holistic
healing continues to grow. Responding to this interest, the essays in
this book offer a comprehensive, state-of-the-art survey of Mesoamerican
healers and medical practices in Mexico and Guatemala. The first two
essays describe the work of prehispanic and colonial healers and show
how their roles changed over time. The remaining essays look at
contemporary healers, including bonesetters, curers, midwives, nurses,
physicians, social workers, and spiritualists. Using a variety of
theoretical approaches, the authors examine such topics as the
intersection of gender and curing, the recruitment of healers and their
training, healers' compensation and workload, types of illnesses treated
and recommended treatments, conceptual models used in diagnosis and
treatment, and the relationships among healers and between indigenous
healers and medical and political authorities.
