Contacts Between Iroquois Herbalism And Colonial Medicine

Contacts Between Iroquois Herbalism And Colonial Medicine is a book written by William N. Fenton that explores the intersection of traditional Iroquois herbal medicine and colonial medicine in North America. Fenton examines the ways in which these two medical systems interacted and influenced each other during the period of European colonization. He draws on historical records and ethnographic research to document the use of herbal remedies by the Iroquois people and the ways in which these remedies were adopted and adapted by European colonizers. Fenton also explores the cultural and social implications of these interactions, including the role of medicine in shaping power relations between colonizers and colonized peoples. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, colonialism, and indigenous knowledge systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
