Madness, Psychiatry, and Empire in Postcolonial Literature
Madness, Psychiatry, and Empire in Postcolonial Literature
Madness, Psychiatry, and Empire in Postcolonial Literature provides a comparatist interrogation of empire through archives of history, science, and literature. The book analyzes Aim Csaires Discourse on Colonialism to shed light on Csaires critique of psychological and medical discourses of the colonizeds mind. The book argues that the discourse of psychiatry, psychology, and psychoanalysis has erased the context of power in global histories of empire. Through the books chapters, Chi analyzes Lu Xuns A Madmans Diary, Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway, and Tsitsi Dangarembgas Nervous Conditions to assert that the misapprehension of madness should not automatically be accepted as the history of an isolated Western culture but rather that of the history of imperialisma globalizing process that silences alternative cultural conceptions of the mind, of madness, and of behavior, as well as different interpretations of madness.
