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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.
Unfortunately, this felt just like a list of the usual horrifying and grotesque racism of the time. I applaud the author for taking this on, as they clearly did immense research. This book will benefit some readers, even if it didn’t add anything new for me.
