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

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.
