Laughter Out of Place: Race, Class, Violence and Sexuality in a Rio Shantytown (review)

In direct contrast to the narratives of the "civilized population," the Warao spoke out forcefully about the illness and their inability to avoid infection. Many sought treatment from their own native healers; when these, too, became sick and died there was widespread fear and panic. Whole populations left their communities and migrated to nearby cities and towns, where they were immediately seen as a threat. Many were forcibly relocated back to their native lands only to face hopelessness and a renewed risk of infection. Once the epidemic abated, public health authorities felt that their work was done, that once again a dreaded disease had been successi fully defeated despite the negative cultural practices of the Warao.
