Sawyer Jr. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2005. ix + 170 pp. Halftones, bibliography, index. $14-95 paper, ISBN 0-8263-3640-X.) This book details the personal journey ofEliseo "Cheo" Torres, a profes­ sor and vice president ofstudent affairs at the University ofNew Mexico, to understand the healing practices of Mexican and Mexican American cul­ tures, and to document the lives of important Mexican healers such as El Nino Fidencio, don Pedrito Jaramillo, Chenchito Alvarado, and Teresita Urrea. Torres also documents the work oflocal healers such as his mother and father, dona Marfa, the neighborhood curandera, and dona Juana, a partera (midwife). Curanderismo is a traditional art ofhealing that predates doctors trained in western medicine, and it flourishes in areas where doc­ tors are scarce and where people cannot afford medical treatment. Torres wants to understand not only the history ofcuranderismo, butalso to articu­ late the cures utilized, their social and cultural implications, and the spiri­ tual dimension involved in healing.
