Citizens & Sovereigns

  • Old Fox Books & Coffeehouse (map)

Join Citizens & Sovereigns for a discussion of Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum, Antonia Hylton's powerful and deeply researched account of one of the last segregated asylums in the United States. Blending personal narrative with archival research, Hylton shines a light on the experiences of Black patients and families that have long been overlooked. Both illuminating and heartbreaking, Madness examines the intersection of race, mental health and systemic inequality, and asks the enduring question of who is seen, heard and cared for.
