About this product
Product Information
Paloma Martinez-Cruz argues that the medicine traditions ofMesoamerican women constitute a hemispheric intellectual lineage thatcontinues to thrive despite the legacy of colonization. Martinez-Cruzasserts that indigenous and mestiza women healers are custodians of aknowledge base that remains virtually uncharted. The few works looking at the knowledge of women in Mesoamericagenerally examine only the written - even academic - world,accessible only to the most elite segments of (customarily male)society. These works have consistently excluded the essentialrepertoire and performed knowledge of women who think and work in waysother than the textual. And while two of the book's chapterscritique contemporary novels, Martinez-Cruz also calls for theexploration of non-textual knowledge trans-mission. In this regard, itsgoals and methods are close to those of performance scholarship andanthropology, and these methods reveal Mesoamerican women to be publicintellectuals. In Women and Knowledge in Mesoamerica,fieldwork and ethnography combine to reveal women healers as models ofagency. Her multidisciplinary approach allows Martinez-Cruz to disruptEuro-based intellectual hegemony and to make a case for the epistemicauthority of native women. Written from a Chicana perspective, thisstudy is learned, personal, and engaging for anyone who is interestedin the wisdom that prevailing analytical cultures have deemed"unintelligible." As it turns out, those who areunacquainted with the sometimes surprising extent and depth of wisdomof indigenous women healers simply haven't been looking in theright places - outside the texts from which they have beenconsistently excluded.

"This engaging book grabbed me from the first to the last page. Women and Knowledge in Mesoamerica is a brilliant achievement in interdisciplinary research that traces a clear line of indigenous discourses of knowledge in which individual, collective and ecological well-being are interconnected and must be diagnosed and treated together.
