Colonial Madness: Psychiatry in French North Africa
Richard C. Keller
Nineteenth-century French writers and travelers imagined Muslim colonies in North Africa to be realms of violence, sexuality, and primitive madness. This book traces genealogy and development of this idea from beginnings of colonial expansion onwards, revealing ways in which psychiatry has been a weapon in arsenal of colonial racism.
