About Isabel Iino
I am an American Studies and Economic and Social History student at Barnard College, Columbia University. With the support of the Laidlaw Foundation, I explored the emergence of "voodoo" doctors, magico-religious healers, their relationship to Black diasporic healing practices, and how magico-religious healers acted as a form of resistance against medical racism for the Black Harlem community.

Magico-Religious Healing and The Campaign Against Medical “Quackery” in Harlem between 1922-1936
This paper examines the Black diasporic healing practices of Harlem between 1922 and 1936. It argues that the New York Health Department (NYHD) and commensurable medical authorities created conditions for social death among Black Harlemites and how spiritual healing acted as a form of resistance.
