Health Care in Maya Guatemala: Confronting Medical Pluralism in a Developing Country
John P. Hawkins
This book examines medical systems and institutions in three K'iche' Maya communities to reveal the conflicts between indigenous medical care and the Guatemalan biomedical system. It shows the necessity of cultural understanding if poor people are to have access to medicine that combines the best of both local tradition and international biomedicine.
