Book Reviews of Speaking from the Body: Latinas on Health and Culture
Book Review: Best book on Latinas on Health & Culture
Summary: 5 Stars
Speaking from the Body: Latinas on Health and Culture is one of the best books on the subject to date.
A brave and new take on a wide range of health topics related to Latinas in the US: hypertension, breast cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, Parkinson's, lupus, and hyper/hypothyroidism.
A book that physicians, patients and caregivers must read. Speaking from the Body is part illness narrative, part autobiographical, and part testimonial, and it fills a gap in health studies.
