In \u003ci\u003eMad with Freedom, \u003c\/i\u003e ﾉlodie Edwards-Grossi explores the largely unknown social history of these racialized theories on insanity in the segregated South. She unites an institutional history of psychiatric spaces in the South that housed Black patients with an intellectual history of early psychiatric theories that defined the Black body as a locus for specific pathologies. Edwards-Grossi also reveals the subtle, localized techniques of resistance later employed by Black patients to confront medical power. Her work shows the continuous politicization of science and theories on insanity in the context of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow South.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ﾉlodie Edwards-Grossi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807177741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807177747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023","brand":"ﾉlodie Edwards-Grossi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070842990847,"sku":"9780807177747","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3689b839-1e0f-4acd-991c-1ee302c0cc31.jpg?v=1685432654","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mad-with-freedom-lodie-edwards-grossi-9780807177747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
