The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures by Anne Fadiman
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American Doctors, and the Collision of Two Cultures

Pam Magnuson, February 9, 2007

Despite the fact that I am a nurse so could relate to the many difficulties of language barriers with patients, I loved the descriptions of the cultural traditions and beliefs of the Hmong. There is a good historical description of the Hmong and their involvement with the Vietnam War as well as their escape from Loas and immigration to the U.S. A very interesting read.
