Outrageous Reason: Madness and race in Britain and Empire, 1780-2020
Peter Barham
This powerful book draws direct comparisons between the plight of African slaves, and the systemic 'othering' of people designated 'mad' throughout Western history. Drawing on contemporary historical records, Barham recounts stories of endemic racism, greed, cruelty, exploitation, and social control in an account that demands to be read by all.
