Heritage in the Body
Kristina Baines
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.

Anuradha Sathiyaseelan
Global Applications of Indian Psychology: Therapeutic and Strategic Models addresses the critical problem of the limited perspective in traditional Western psychology, which fails to encompass crucial aspects of human experience and well-being in our complex modern world.

In this work, the author transparently presents ethnographic insights from long-term anthropological fieldwork in two A’uwẽ communities, addressing how distinctive constructions of age organization contribute to social well-being in an era of major ecological, economic, and sociocultural change.
