The Representation of Curanderismo in Selected Mexican American Works

Melissa Pabón

University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas

Curanderismo, a Mexican folk practice, is a prevalent subject in Mexican American literature. Because much of the presence of curanderismo in Mexican American literature is only explored in ethnographic studies, the purpose of this study is to examine the artistic representation of curanderismo in the novels Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya; So Far From God by Ana Castillo; and Massacre of the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma, also by Ana Castillo.

Key Words: curanderismo • curandera • brujería • Ultima • doña Felicia
