    The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down By Anne Fadiman Summary

    Anne Fadiman’s book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, tells the story of the clashing of cultures between the Hmong culture and Western culture through the lens of medicine.

The book itself consists of an interesting format, switching back and forth between plot…

There are no airports on the island of Tristan da Cunha, so the only way to get there is by boat, across some of the roughest waters on the planet. Boats from South Africa only travel to the island eight or nine times per year.…
