Recenzii

'Mandatory Madness is an important contribution to a modest but growing body of works that are challenging national and ideological narratives that have dominated the history of the Middle East far too long. Chris Sandal-Wilson weaves meticulously and soberly a fragmented history of mental health care in a highly contentious part of the world and compellingly demonstrates how disturbing and questioning the archive of colonial psychiatry can be performed.' Joelle M. Abi-Rached, Harvard University
'Mandatory Madness is essential reading for anyone concerned with the history of Mandate Palestine and the history of the psy-sciences. Sandal-Wilson brilliantly assembles British officials, Palestinians and Jewish émigrés from the archive to demonstrate how colonial officials sought to render madness legible and calculable, while patients and families sought to render madness manageable. The result is a rich social history of Mandate Palestine which recenters the history of mental illness and psychiatry from a patient perspective and takes place as much in institutional settings as it does in homes and other quotidian social spaces.' Omnia El Shakry, University of California, Davis
'Through its focus on mental health and the biomedical institutions that sought to treat it, Sandal-Wilson's thoughtful work shines light on an unexplored facet of Palestinian history as well as the expectations and dynamics that structured interactions between Palestinians and the British mandate authorities' Jennifer Derr, Founding Director and Associate Professor, University of California
