The Pastoral Clinic takes us on a penetrating journey into an iconic Western landscape--northern New Mexico's Española Valley, home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in the United States. In a luminous narrative, Angela Garcia chronicles the lives of several Hispano addicts, introducing us to the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which they are entangled. We discover how history pervades this region that has endured centuries of material and cultural dispossession, and we come to see its heroin problem as a contemporary expression of these conditions, as well as a manifestation of the human desire to be released from them. Lyrically evoking the Española Valley and its residents through conversations, encounters, and recollections, The Pastoral Clinic is at once a devastating portrait of addiction, a rich ethnography of place, and an eloquent call for a new ethics of care.

评分也是本令人伤心的民族志……在失去、剥夺与伤害中，却是一种关爱与留恋的生成。文中提到提到的过度嗑药以自杀大多不是受污名化所困而是因为失去了希望，对于一无所有的人来说，或许根本就不在意污名化或面子的事了，人生所重的还是几个在乎的人——所以人与人的连结是一件很根本的事（？即使痛苦只能一个人承受，但如果有人与我共鸣、共情或许就是另一种安慰了？）。另外一点：政策对于医疗服务的管理与收缩使得戒毒的任务越来越需要在亲密关系领域进行，这倒是让我想到了《浮生取义》里作者对于国家法义的呼唤，私人领域里的幸福也需要国家为此创造些公平的环境与条件。//我很喜欢里面一些关于记忆、语言与生命形式、苦痛等的分析，没有这些，这本书应该会逊色很多吧
评分What does it mean for a patient and attendant- anthropologist to remain in each other ’s presence from within such radically different sites of experience? And what does it mean for the institution to find itself, again, bereft of the power to provide one of our most basic needs,the light by which to see?

评分真心不喜欢这一类情感丰富的书写模式。
