Vox Diccionario Compacto Espanol e Ingles

Rating:
Summary: Mediocre, incorrect. Curandero is not a quack. Insulting
Review: Vox does not take into account the many definitions that exist for Spanish terms in the Spanish speaking world. Obviously, the editor-writer categorizes all Spanish speakers as one when we are not. The Vox definition of curandero has only one word: quack. This is highly insulting to native Americans in the Spanish world. Curanderos are family counselors, faith healers, herbologists and nutritionists. They for the most part, cure with herbs. To be sure, some are quacks, opportunists, and are ineffective just as some doctors are. In the ancient world, they were called shamans. The one word for definition induces even the most egalitarian of us to shout racism.
