The Serpent and the Rainbow is a longer work, but it's one that's worth your time if you're interested in anthropology. The book details the work of ethnobotanist Wade Davis and his travels in Haiti, studying the potential origins of the phenomenon of zombification. In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on The Serpent and the Rainbow, its triumphs and its issues. We address the immense difficulty inherent in a white man's telling of a Haitian story, and we analyze the places where the narrative is at its most valuable.
Hope you enjoy!
