The Mind Body Culture Connection.
Speaking From the Body: Latinas on Health and Culture (University of Arizona Press) is hardly a "how-to" guide on cultural sensitivity and health. Instead, editors Angie Chabram-Dernersesian and Adela de la Torre have collected the stories of 12 Latinas and uncovered a reservoir of knowledge on the complexities of pain and healing through the language of cultura.

One story that's typical of the collection centers on a woman's arthritis, which worsens as she struggles with the loss of a close friend. The woman suffers a series of sustos (loosely translated as fears that shake the body) while dreaming about her own death. Her symptoms are eased only by an unlikely mix of traditional therapy, Tylenol and a chili powder ointment.
