Biographical/Historical note:
Carol Laderman was a medical anthropologist best known for her research on Malay traditional medicine. Her work focused on beliefs and practices regarding childbirth and nutrition as well as shamanic healing practices in rural Malaysia.

Laderman (née Cohen) was born on October 25, 1932 in Brooklyn, New York. When she was 6, her father changed their family's surname to Ciavati due to his difficulty as a Jew finding an engineering job. Laderman grew up with musical aspirations, intending to become a concert pianist. She attended the High School of Music and Art in Manhattan and majored in music at Brooklyn College. In 1953, she married Gabriel Laderman, a painter and later an art professor. She took a leave from college to follow her husband after he was drafted into the U.S. Army five months following their wedding. Her hiatus from college spanned fifteen years, during which time she had two sons (1958, 1965). She also worked as a legal secretary in Ithaca, New York, and as a social secretary and translator for an opera singer when she and her family lived in Italy.

After returning to New York City, she enrolled in evening classes at Hunter College. Although she planned to resume her studies in music, her academic focus changed after taking an anthropology course taught by medical anthropologist Rena Gropper. In 1972, she earned her B.A. in Anthropology, and with the assistance of a Danforth Foundation Fellowship, she attended graduate school at Columbia University, where she earned her Ph.D. in Anthropology in 1979.

As an undergraduate student, Laderman conducted fieldwork at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City (1972-1973), assisting in a project on pregnant teenagers and nutritional health. She was assigned to collect data on Puerto Rican adolescent mothers, which exposed her to humoral beliefs in food, medicine, and people. This experience would later inspire her to conduct her graduate fieldwork on nutrition and childbirth in Malaysia, where humoral beliefs were also held but not well-explored by researchers.

From 1975 to 1977, Laderman and her family lived in Merchang, in Trengganu (now Terengganu), Malaysia. Working under the auspices of the Malaysian Ministry of Health of the Institute for Medical Research, Laderman studied both traditional and hospital-based medicine. As part of her fieldwork, she received training from a hospital to collect blood samples to study the effects of birthing and dietary practices on women's health. She also apprenticed herself to a traditional midwife (bidan kampung), whom she assisted in a number of births. By comparing food ideologies and actual food intake of pregnant and postpartum women, Laderman was able to refute the prevailing view of scholars that malnutrition among rural Malays was largely due to dietary restrictions based on the humoral system. In her dissertation, "Conceptions and Preconceptions: Childbirth and Nutrition in Rural Malaysia," Laderman describes how Malay women adapt their diets to their needs and that their customs allow for interpretation and manipulation. In 1983, a revised version of her dissertation was published as Wives and Midwives: Childbirth and Nutrition in Rural Malaysia.

While seeking to gain an understanding of traditional Malay medicine in its entirety, Laderman also became exposed to theatrical spirit séances known as Main Peteri (also Puteri or Teri). At that time Main Peteri was no longer performed in most Malaysian states but was still thriving in Trengganu and nearby Kelantan. Performed primarily as healing ceremonies by shamans (bomoh), Main Peteri was a last resort for the afflicted. These performances were characterized by entranced patients, spirit possessions, singing, music, dancing, and an audience. Laderman attended and participated in a number of these ceremonies and became a student and adopted daughter to a shaman. She recorded and transcribed several Main Peteri performances and received an NEH grant (1981-1985) to translate the texts. She also returned to Merchang in 1982 to conduct further research on traditional healing ceremonies. In her monograph Taming the Wind of Desire (1991), she discusses Main Peteri and its relationship to the Malay concept of Inner Winds (angin), which determine a person's personality, talents, and drives. In 1987 to 1990, she returned to her musical roots to collaborate with ethnomusicologist Marina Roseman to transcribe, analyze, and interpret the music of Main Peteri. Together, she and Roseman also edited The Performance of Healing (1996). In addition, Laderman became interested in the effects of urbanization and globalization on traditional Malay healing practices, a topic which she addressed in a collection of her writings, The Life and Death of Traditional Malay Medicine (in press).

Laderman was a professor at the Department of Anthropology at City University of New York City College (1990-2010). She was also an associate professor at Fordham University (1982-1990) and taught briefly at Hunter College (1978-1980), Brooklyn College (1979-1980), and Yale University (1980-1982).

She died on July 6, 2010 at the age of 77.

Frontier Nursing Service, 1925. 1 reel (1635 ft.) : si., b&w ; 16mm. positive. Summary: In 1925 the new kind of "fetched-on" woman first appeared in the wild Kentucky highlands. In the saddle in all weathers, she found her way to isolated mountain cabins making friends with bright-eyed children, tending women in childbirth, spreading ideas of "furrin" sanitation, and hygiene. These are true stories, acted by the people of the county who volunteered in appreciation of the nursing service to reproduce scenes of their everyday life.

The Frontier Nursing Service provides child hygiene, midwifery, sick nursing, medical care, dentistry, public health, and emergency surgery in the Appalachian Mountains....By means of which the national maternal death rate is cut more than 2/3 in the remote regions and the health of the population raised to a high level. Filmed in Hazard County, KY. Visitors come to visit this remote area to observe the work of these frontier nurses. They are welcomed by Mrs. Mary Breckinrige, the director, to "Beach Fork Center," a gift of Mrs. Nathaniel Ayer of Boston as a memorial to Jessie Preston Draper. She relates an incident of a man who rushed into the center to ask a nurse/midwife to come to assist his wife, who is in labor. She traveled many miles on horseback over rugged terrain, reached the primitive home, and helped to deliver the child.

Assistant director Miss Peacock and Willeford supervise the building of a new center, "The Caroline Butler Atwood Memorial Center, a gift of Mrs. John W. Price, Jr., of Louisville and Miss Atwood. Miss Price visits home of a mountain craftsman whose daughter is ill. Nurses innoculate the school children. Shows nurses riding horseback through rough terrain in bad weather, making house calls to their patients. Tells the story of a man who is a single parent and takes his sick newborn to the Frontier Nursing Service Hospital at Hyden. Another story tells of an "old fashioned shootout." A child finds a man who has been shot in the woods. He contacts the frontier nurses, and they make a stretcher and organize men to carry the patient to the nearest hospital (7 hours) for surgery. Non accession #1984.3074. Print donated by Marvin Breckenridge (Mrs. Jefferson) Patterson. See also The Road.

Place:
Hawaii
Date:
circa 1830 - circa 1930
Summary:
The Mary Kawena Pukui papers consist of copies made of Pukui's study and knowledge of Hawaiian culture. As a Hawaiian scholar, dancer, composer, and educator, Pukui held a tremendous knowledge of Hawaiian culture which is highlighted through her many published works from the mid to late 20 th century. This collection contains copied material gathered by Pukui's son-in-law, George Bacon, and includes texts either written or translated by Pukui on Hawaiian history, culture, stories, legends, and songs.
Scope and Contents:
The Mary Kawena Pukui papers reflect Pukui's vast knowledge of Hawaiian culture and her multifaceted role in Hawaiian life as a scholar, dancer, and creator. Born in 1895 and raised with traditional Hawaiian culture at heart, Pukui worked to collect and learn Hawaiian knowledge from an early age up until her death in 1986. Pukui's efforts to document Hawaiian culture is evidenced in this collection which consists of some correspondence and copies of Pukui's written work on historical figures, personally composed songs, and translations of traditional Hawaiian stories, legends, and songs. Additionally there are some Hawaiian legends written by other scholars collected by Pukui.

Please note that the contents of the collection and the language and terminology used reflect the context and culture of the time of its creation. As an historical document, its contents may be at odds with contemporary views and terminology and considered offensive today. The information within this collection does not reflect the views of the Smithsonian Institution or National Anthropological Archives, but is available in its original form to facilitate research.
Arrangement:
The material in this collection is mainly in its orignal arrangment by George Bacon. Some folders have been moved by the archivist to align with content in each box. Original folder numbers corresponding to original arrangement are still present on the folders.
Biographical Note:
Mary Abigail Kawena-'ula-o-ka-lani-a-Hi'iaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele-ka-wahine-'ai-honua Na-lei-lehua-a-Pele Wiggin Pukui (1895-1986) was a Hawaiian scholar, dancer, composer, and educator. Daughter of a native Hawaiian woman and an American father, Pukui was initially raised by her grandmother, a hula dancer in the court of Queen Emma, who also held a great knowledge of medicine and midwifery. After her grandmother's death, Pukui continued her education in Hawaiian culture with her parents, speaking mainly in Hawaiian. She began collecting Hawaiian legends and proverbs from an early age, studied several well-known native dancers, and in 1938 she began working at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu as an ethnological assistant and translator until 1961. Pukui also taught Hawaiian language to several scholars and served as an informant for several anthropologists. A collector of Hawaiian words and their meanings, Pukui published a Hawaiian-English Dictionary in 1957 and ʻŌlelo Noʻeau in 1983. These are among over fifty scholarly works that she wrote. Mary Pukui's vast knowledge reflected in her published works serve as a preeminent source for the study of traditional Hawaiian culture.
Provenance:
The original notes are in the possession of George Bacon, who sent his transcription to Adrienne Kaeppler for delivery to the National Anthropological Archives in March 2005.
