This study presents the folk medical beliefs and practices described in the Chicano Heritage Collection of the University of California at Los Angeles. Dr. Roeder explores the role of storytelling, particularly the narration of personal experience stories, in the communication of folk medical traditions and beliefs. She shows how ethnic traditions, individual choice of medical treatment, and Mexican American awareness of both are influenced by the experiences of immigration and of life as a minority, confronted by differing majority beliefs and practices. The 103-page appendix on medicinals is useful independently.
