- Abstract
The article focuses on the scientific field-work of German-Peruvian doctor Max H. Kuczynski and his reflections on medical pathology among native populations. The author considers Kuczynski's anthropological and medical field-work in rural Central Asia (1924-1926) and in the Amazon region of Peru (1938-1944). He explores his theoretical perspectives concerning ethnic pathology in the context of the academic debate concerning the crisis of medicine which took place in Germany between the two world wars.
