Although various aspects of Vietnam's culture have been influenced by the
country's close proximity of China, this study demonstrates, at least in the
field of traditional medicine, how the indigenous experience influences the
extent to which the culture is receptive to foreign influence. Thompson
illustrates this resilience by a detailed historical study of the Vietnamese
response to a Chinese medical technique for treating smallpox. 179 pages. For
