just finished The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, by Anne Fadiman. It's a really well-written story looking at the collision of the American Medical System and Hmong culture, specifically one Hmong family who has a young child with epilepsy. I like it a _lot_, because there are no villains in the story, but it is a tragedy, and the writer really gets into why these two groups aren't on the same wavelength.
