The Political Economy of Blackness, Insanity, and Civil Rights in the U.S. South, 1840–1940
Omschrijving
The use of race in studies of insanity in the 1840s and 1850s gave rise to politically charged theories on the differential biology and pathologies of brains in whites and Blacks. This book explores the largely unknown social history of these racialized theories on insanity in the segregated South.
