Description - The Geography Of Madness by Frank Bures
Fascinating adventure and travel story by a noted magazine writer-think Jon Ronson meets David Grann. Entertaining accounts of how culture can make us go insane.
An investigation of "culture-bound" syndromes-such as voodoo death and Penis theft. The author travels the globe to investigate epidemics that seem like madness to some cultures-but are all too real to those experiencing them.
Example- In April 2001, mobs in Nigeria lynched 12 suspected penis thieves.
