rachelholdham 's review for:
Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum
by Antonia Hylton
A tough, but important read. The author did an impactful job of revealing the scale and scope of the issues at the asylum as each chapter progressed. It feels unbelievable, but the book is so well documented and grounded in fact. I especially appreciated the information about Elsie and Henrietta Lacks - it was eye-opening to connect the timing of this book with the events from the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
