Sinopse: The Book Presents An Overview Of Current Studies On The Healing Arts In Brazil, Enriched With Analyzes That Cover Argentina And The Iberian Peninsula. The Studies That Make Up This Book On The Healing Arts Contribute To The Expansion And Deepening Of Analyzes On The Topic By Demonstrating That People Who Practiced The Different Healing Arts Without Academic Training Did Not Have A Single And Homogeneous Profile. Healers, Midwives, Bleeders Are Examples Of Jobs That Encompass Activities And Training Based More Or Less On African, Indigenous Or European Traditions. Contemplating The Circularities And Repression That Accompany The Healing Arts, Reading The Chapters Is An Invitation To Reflect On The Importance Of These Healing Practices And Crafts For The Health Of Populations Over Time And To Better Understand The History Of Health Itself.-- Page 2 Of Cover.
