Colonial madness : psychiatry in French North Africa /
Keller, Richard C. 1969-
Colonial madness : psychiatry in French North Africa / Richard C. Keller. - Chicago : University of Chicago Press, ©2007. - 1 online resource (xi, 294 pages) : illustrations, maps
Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-285) and index.
Pinel in the Maghreb : liberation and confinement in a landscape of sickness -- Shaping colonial psychiatry : geographies of innovation and economies of care -- Spaces of experimentation, sites of contestation : doctors, patients, and treatments -- Between clinical and useful knowledge : race, ethnicity, and the conquest of the primitive -- Violence, resistance, and the poetics of suffering : colonial madness between Frantz Fanon and Kateb Yacine -- Underdevelopment, migration, and dislocation : postcolonial histories of colonial psychiatry.
Nineteenth-century French writers and travelers imagined Muslim colonies in North Africa to be realms of savage violence, lurid sexuality, and primitive madness. Colonial Madness traces the genealogy and development of this idea from the beginnings of colonial expansion to the present, revealing the ways in which psychiatry has been at once a weapon in the arsenal of colonial racism, an innovative branch of medical science, and a mechanism for negotiating the meaning of difference for republican citizenship. Drawing from extensive archival research and fieldwork in France and North Africa, Ric.
