Heritage in the Body

Sensory Ecologies of Health Practice in Times of Change

Beschreibung

Through storytelling, ethnography, and interviews, this volume examines how Indigenous Maya and Garifuna Belizeans--both in Belize and in the United States--navigate macro-level processes such as economic development, climate change, political shifts, and global health crises in the context of changes in their own lives. Employing an embodied ecological heritage (EEH) framework, this work explores the links between health and heritage. It offers insights into how heritage practices become embodied as ways to maintain and support happy, healthy lives.
