Arc Of Interference

The Arc of Interference is a book that delves deep into Medical Anthropology. Medical Anthropology in simple terms is the study of the social, cultural, and biological factors that influence all spheres of healthcare and medicine. This includes treatments for various diseases, different ways of healing, and cultural medical practices. The arc of Interference discusses the importance of interfering in the different social and political crises that concern anthropologists. 

One of the events discussed in the Arc of Interference that I found intriguing was the Self Immolation of Tibetian monks 

Self-immolation is a form of protest in which someone intentionally sets themselves on fire in order to send a message.   

Tibet has been under Chinese control since the 1950s, leading to notable political and social changes in Tibet. Tibetian monks have long been nonviolently protesting against the Chinese suppression of Tibetian religions, customs, and languages. 

Self-immolation is a very extreme type of protest, but this act is a noble sacrifice that helps bring to attention the challenges that the Tibetans face under the rule of the Chinese government. 

The Arc of Interferences delves deep into many tales such as this, and is an inspiring read.
