Notes: Pamphlet. “Curanderismo” can be translated as “folk healing.” Not the recipes of plants and herbs, but descriptions of ailments (Spanish with English descriptions) and mini-biographies of some traditional (now deceased) folk healers. Remedies passed down through the generations. Torres instituted a college-level course on folk-healing that has been taught at the University of New Mexico for some two decades.
