Chan's multidisciplinary poems are a lyrical account of anti-colonial, anti-capitalist psychiatric survivor- and patient-led movements, from Germany to Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by poets, artists, and activists like Frantz Fanon, Etel Adnan, and Solmaz Sharif, Chan's prose and lyric poems delve into activist movements during World War II, the late 20th century, and the present day. This is an investigation of madness as resistance and political strategy. We experience \"listening as a form of touch,\" and the future as a change of form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jody Chan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771316829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771316828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brick Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jody Chan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801253228799,"sku":"9781771316828","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madness-belongs-to-the-people-jody-chan-9781771316828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
