dc.description.abstractAs the diagnostic arm of public health, epidemiology is caught in the crossfire of oppositional social values and demands. The article reviews constructions of epidemiology within viewpoints of power, class and determination for instance, and then locates it in a particular Latin American perspective: epidemiological research and the linkages between agro-industrial work and indigenous communities have led to intercultural knowledge-building as well as analysis of the relation between modes of life and exposure patterns, and the design of community-based instruments for assessing impacts of unsustainable ‘lifestyle’ effects like toxicity and stress.en
