OAXACA, Oax. January 8, 2022.- The UANM University Program for Cultural Diversity and Interculturality shared the book Protection and cure. Traditional medicine in black communities of the Costa Chica of Oaxaca by Céline Marie-Jeanne Demol.
The project for this book was born in 2010, when the author traveled to the community of Charco Redondo, where she learned from the inhabitants their ways of thinking regarding the world, living it, their customs and difficulties as a marginalized black people.
From that first meeting, the desire to continue working with the Afro-Mexican population was born in Céline Marie-Jeanne Demol.
In the introductory text of the book they point out that “it is part of the construction of knowledge tools as part of normal university work and its transfer to society.
“Responding to the needs that this manifests and that, we, accompany in the sense of achieving constitutional and statistical recognition of the Afro-descendant black population in Mexico today.”
