About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
By reading this summary, you will learn more about culturally specific syndromes, particularly in Africa and Asia.
You will also learn :
- that one third of the Hmong people died during the Vietnam War;
- that another third emigrated to the United States in 1975;
- that West Africa was subject to a widespread epidemic of "penis theft" between 1997 and 2003;
- that "voodoo death" is not exclusive to exotic lands;
- that in West Africa, certain cultural syndromes affect only students;
- that Frank Bures is passionate about the differences between cultures.
Why, in West Africa, are thousands of men convinced that their penis has disappeared following magical operations, despite what doctors tell them? You will find out by reading the work of Frank Bures, who has lived in many countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and America, and who speaks several languages. This is a "sine qua non" condition for coming into contact with peoples who jealously guard their traditions, including what is less communicable in each culture: the form of madness peculiar to every civilization.
