- Summary:
- "This book highlights a local understanding of traitement, or treatment as it is called in English, which is a healing tradition specific to Francophone Louisiana. Sharing the need for medical attention, the Cajun, Creole, and Native American populations borrowed from each others practices, resulting in a blending of native, afro-Caribbean, and European traditions that resulted in healing practices distinct to the population of south Louisiana that continue to this day"-- Provided by publisher.
