This book did not at all deliver on the spectacular premise it claimed to be built upon. Instead, it focused too much on many shifting perspectives that did little to flesh out the world of the characters inhabiting it.

I will potentially return later; I'm just too busy now. The book wasn't at fault.

Administrations of Lunacy: Racism and the Haunting of American Psychiatry at the Milledgeville Asylum by Mab Segrest

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
This book was far too concerned with the individual narratives of patients at the start of the institution, as opposed to discussing the realities of disenfranchised patients closer to our current era. Additionally, there was too much energy spent on explaining the political moves in the Confederacy for my liking; I wanted more of the story of how we got to the end of things, not the geopolitical underpinnings that I'm educated enough to already know.
