Question

Members of this ethnicity are the subject of Seth Holmes’s book Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies, who practiced an “embodied anthropology” that took him to a farm in the Skagit Valley. Margaret Clark pioneered medical anthropology among this ethnicity in a “community study” analyzing the skepticism of health workers towards conditions like susto. A paradox named for the relatively low mortality rate of this ethnicity has been explained by the “salmon bias” hypothesis. They’re not the Inuit, but a typically female culture-bound syndrome of this ethnicity (-5[1])translates as “attack of nerves.” Mal aire (“mahl EYE-ray”) may be treated by folk healers of this ethnicity known as curanderos.
