Medicine and Morality in Haiti: The Contest for Healing Power

Medicine and Morality in Haiti: The Contest for Healing Power (Cambridge Studies in Medical Anthropology 3) by Paul Brodwin
English | ISBN-10: 0521575435 | 1996 | PDF | 253 pages | 8,5 mb

Medicine and morality in rural Haiti are shaped both by different local religious traditions and by biomedical and folk medicine practices. People who become ill may seek treatment from Western doctors, but also from herbalists and religious leaders.

This study examines the decisions guiding such choices, and considers moral issues arising in a society where suffering is associated with guilt but where different, sometimes conflicting, ethical systems coexist. It also reveals how in the crisis of illness people rework religious identities and are forced to address fundamental social and political problems.
