Been reading Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum by Antonia Hylton the last few days. It's taking me a bit longer than usual as it's so disturbing and difficult to read. But that's the point. I have spent my life hearing stories about the asylums across the US so none of it is a surprise, but it certainly doesn't make it any less unsettling. Please beware that it is an especially hard to read book.
