"Timely, disturbing, and luminously written, "The Pastoral Clinic" is anthropology at its best, bringing into view a devastating piece of reality, highlighting larger processes and human singularities, and calling for a new public and ethics of care."--Joao Biehl, author of "Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment" "Garcia calls for a new ethics of care for heroin addicts, exposing the insufficiency and lack of continuity of rapidly privatizing faith-based services for the rural poor. Her heartfelt ethnography of the geography of addiction in New Mexico reveals how formerly agricultural communities and families find themselves painfully embedded in a land of dispossession and displacement with an unresolvable past, and an unlivable present."--Philippe Bourgois, author of "Righteous Dopefiend" "Angela Garcia has expanded the roots and basis of addictions to the great losses--personal, cultural, economic, of birthright and land--that few would dare to explore. I've sought a book like this for years, addressing my own addictions and those of the young men and women I've worked with for decades. A formidable thinker, a wrench-in-the-works activist inside and out of the industry, Angela understands that addictions are not a 'always has been and always will be' fate, but a collective, individual, and even 'intimate, ' funneling into the web. And how the path toward healing, reconciliation, and wholeness is in the land, in the hand, and the capable heart of every addict and broken community."--Luis J. Rodriguez, author of "Always Running: La Vida Loca, Gang Days in LA"
