Introduction of Indigenous Knowledge and Practices on Disability in Latin America
摘要
Why do we propose studying disability from Indigenous worldviews? What do care, healing, and inclusion mean in communities where well-being is conceived differently than dominant models? In Latin America, Indigenous peoples have developed their reflections, knowledge, and practices on disability, often rendered invisible or ignored in conventional studies. This book aims to make these perspectives visible—not to romanticize or homogenize Indigenous worldviews, but to showcase the diversity of ways in which different communities have addressed disability over time, from their ancestral traditions to contemporary challenges.
