Synopsis
From voodoo to the Southeast Asian phenomenon of involuntary jerky dances and movements known as Latah, this book presents a journey around the world through culture-bound syndromes and an extraordinary history of all the strange things we believe in.
Far from restricted to “primitive” or remote cultures, belief in the supernatural also filters through the many cracks in contemporary reason. Frank Bures has constructed a complex, subtle, and fascinating reflection on the fictions that define us as a species.
