Wandering souls
Ethnographies of power, memory, and health among the Aymara of northern Chile
This book takes us through the experience of psychological suffering in people of Aymara origin living in neighborhoods of the city of Arica. Based on their life trajectories and ways of understanding their illness, the author reminds us of the history of our Latin America and the form that psychological suffering takes in those who are part of our indigenous peoples, broadening the horizon of understanding and transformation of the practices of our community mental health service teams.
