In The Hot and the Cold, Jacques Chevalier and Andrés Sánchez Bain examine indigenous worldview and myth, and challenge the prevailing notion that hot-cold reasoning in Latin America is a product of the Hippocratic humoral doctrine brought by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century.Based on extensive field work in southern Veracruz, this innovative study details folk tales and stories of illness from indigenous people, and provides explanations that emphasize the close connections between healing practices, milpa cultivation, and corn mythology. These close connections reveal that human health and the life cycle of the corn plant are governed by the same principles founded on native concepts of the hot and the cold. Notions of what is frío and what is caliente pervade the ways in which the Nahuas and Zoque-Popolucas of the Sierra de Santa Marta think about their relationship with the land and all entities that surround them, including fellow humans, plants, animals, and spirits. By revealing the connections between ethnomedicine, agriculture, and mythology, Chevalier and Sánchez help clarify puzzling aspects of Mesoamerican religion and symbolic thought, and lead the way towards better understanding of indigenous worldview in the modern world. 410 0$aAnthropological horizons. 606 $aNahuas$xMedicine$zMexico$zVeracruz-Llave (State) 606 $aPopoluca Indians$xMedicine 606 $aTraditional medicine$zMexico$zVeracruz-Llave (State) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNahuas$xMedicine 615 0$aPopoluca Indians$xMedicine. 615 0$aTraditional medicine 676 $a306.4/61/08997452 700 $aChevalier$b Jacques M.$f1949-$0877586 702 $aChevalier$b Jacques M., 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455671803321 996 $aThe hot and the cold$92452550 997 $aUNINA
