<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Spanish expression - la cultura cura (culture heals) - is an affirmation of the potential healing power of a variety of cultural practices that together constitute the ethos of a people. What happens, however, when cultures themselves are in jeopardy? What are the "antidotes" or healing modalities for an ailing culture? Healing Cultures addresses these questions from a variety of disciplines - anthropology, holistic folk traditions, literature, film, cultural and religious studies - bringing together the broad range of beliefs and the spectrum of practices that have sustained the peoples and cultures of the Caribbean.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Margarite Fernández Olmos</b> is Professor of Modern Languages and Literatures at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. <p/><b>Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert</b> is Professor of Caribbean and Latin American Literature at Vassar College.<br>
