Editorial Reviews

Review

"Aurora Levins Morales opens our eyes to the risks we need to confront in order to do serious feminist history." -- Cynthia Enloe, author of Bananas, Beaches, and Bases

From the Back Cover

Drawing vibrant connections between the colonization of whole nations, the health of the mountainsides, and the abuse of individual women, children, and men, Medicine Stories offers the paradigm of integrity as a political model to people who hunger for a world of justice, health, and love.
