- Summary:
- "Don Pedrito Jaramillo (1823-1907) and Santa Teresa Urrea (1873-1906) practiced curanderismo, or faith healing, along the U.S.-Mexico border around the turn of the twentieth century. Jaramillo worked on the far eastern Texas-Mexico border in the South Texas Rio Grande Valley, and Santa Teresa worked further west in El Paso, the Arizona-Sonora borderlands, and Southern California. In Borderlands Curanderos, Jennifer Koshatka Seman offers a sort of parallel biography of these two curanderos, examining their trajectories and setting their lives in dialogue with many of the concerns of recent borderlands history"-- Provided by publisher.
