De création récente, les sociétés de la Caraïbe sont issues de la colonisation des Amériques qui s'accompagna de l'extermination de populations amérindiennes, de la transplantation et de l'esclavage de populations d'origine africaine, puis de différentes vagues de migration. Ces sociétés ont su pourtant élaborer des systèmes originaux de représentations du corps et de la maladie qui rendent compte de leur inscription sur un sol nouveau et expriment de nouveaux rapports sociaux. Cet ouvrage étudie plus particulièrement la manière dont, à la Guadeloupe, les savoirs concernant la santé et la maladie constituent un ensemble structuré de représentations et de pratiques qui renvoient à des cosmogonies bien définies. En recourant aux méthodologies de l'ethnobotanique et de l'ethnomédecine, en faisant appel à la cartographie, l'auteur analyse la pharmacopée à base de plantes médicinales et propose une lecture originale du paysage des jardins de case. L'organisation de ces derniers reflète en effet la vision du monde de ses occupants, et matérialise dans l'espace le bien-être et les maux du corps, tout comme les relations avec l'entourage et les morts. On découvre ainsi comment, dans une situation de pluralisme médical et dans un milieu pluriethnique, des thérapeutes et des patients passent d'un système médical à l'autre sans pour autant abandonner leur vision du monde.

This book continues as volume 11 of a multi-compendium on Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal Plants. It covers such plants with edible  modified storage subterranean stems (corms, rhizomes, stem tubers) and unmodified subterranean stem stolons,  above ground swollen stems and hypocotyls,  storage roots (tap root, lateral roots,  root tubers), and bulbs,  that  are eaten as conventional or functional food  as  vegetables and spices,  as herbal teas,  and may provide a source of food additive or neutraceuticals. This volume covers  selected plant species  with edible modified stems, roots and bulbs in the families Iridaceae, Lamiaceae, Marantaceae, Nelumbonaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Nymphaeaceae, Orchidaceae, Oxalidaceae, Piperaceae, Poaceae, Rubiaceae and Simaroubaceae.  The edible species dealt with in this work include wild and underutilized crops and also common and widely grown ornamentals. To help in identification of the plant and edible parts coloured illustrations are included. As in the preceding  ten volumes, topics covered include: taxonomy (botanical name and synonyms); common English and vernacular names; origin and distribution; agro-ecological requirements; edible plant parts and uses; plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional medicinal uses; other  non-edible uses; and selected/cited  references for further reading. This volume has  separate  indices for scientific and common names; and separate scientific and medical glossaries.

This volume provides information on how to select and screen plants for their medicinal properties. It describes phytopharmacological techniques for extracting and qualitatively and quantitatively analyzing a plant’s phytochemicals. After a detailed in vitro investigation including nutritional and anti-nutritional analyses, medicinal properties were tested with various in vivo models for anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic, anticancer and anti-diabetic properties, as well as wound healing, neurodegenerative diseases, etc. Compound identification and purification techniques include, among others, TLC and column chromatography, as well as molecular docking with specific proteins.
