Pełny opis

The book explores diagnostic processes and treatment in the practices of medical doctors and Mapuche practitioners. It focuses on the actual process of healing and how it ties into and is interwoven with the political and historical past of Chile. The book relates to previous work on machi and healing in Chile as it engages the relationship between individual social and political bodies in complex ways. While previous publications on Mapuche Indians concern analysis of shamanic historical consciousness and healing rituals or broader anthropological debates about indigenous peoples in South America, this book is a more strictly medical anthropoligical piece from the patient's perspective in a context of medical pluralism.
