      Ilan Stavans has amassed a collection of cutting-edge articles that inform readers about how Latinos navigate both the mainstream medical arena and culturally specific healing traditions.This work highlights the myriad problems Latinos face in becoming fully acculturated consumers of health care. Its series of chapters by expert contributors bridges the communication gap between mainstream medical professionals who need to understand the Latino worldview and Latinos that need to adapt to the puzzling complexity of providers and insurers that make up the American health care system.Backed by research using quantitative methods and other techniques, Health Care’s seven chapters cover topics ranging from infant care to teenage dating and sexual mores to prescription medication use by older adults. Much of the coverage focuses on problems of access and the ways in which Latinos move between mainstream health care, and the world of traditional remedies provided by botánicas (shops specializing in herbs and other healing items) and curanderos (folk healers).Includes seven chapters on the major issues concerning Latino access to quality health care in the United States18 contributors—noted scholars providing their insights under the editorial direction of Ilan Stavans
