A review by moonytoast
Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum by Antonia Hylton

emotional informative sad medium-paced

4.5

a must read for those interested in psychology, the history of racialized treatment in the pyschology field and its impact on the current relationship of black people to the mental health system, the connection between mental institutions and the carceral system, and the impact of places like crownsville on everyone who moved through that place. EVERY psychology department at PWIs need to have this book on their curriculum for students to read!!!!!
