About this title

From the Back Cover:

Drawing vibrant connections between the colonization of whole nations, the health of the mountainsides, and the abuse of individual women, children, and men, Medicine Stories offers the paradigm of integrity as a political model to people who hunger for a world of justice, health, and love.
