Calling our spirits back: Indigenous ways of diagnosing and treating soul sickness

In this article, we utilize Brigitte Jordan's theory of "authoritative knowledge," to show how Mexican immigrants' ancestral and ecological-based healing knowledge travels with them through migration. Based on original ethnographic research in the Southwest borderlands, we expand an understanding of the factors that support the continuity of authoritative knowledge spatially and temporally. Mexicans' healing knowledge persisted north of the border because it (1) incorporated a wide array of healing techniques and materials that remained accessible post-migration, (2) enabled immigrants to heal...
