Description

‘Mad Tales from the Raj’ is an authoritative assessment of western psychiatry within the context of British colonialism.

This revised version provides a comprehensive study of official attitudes and practices in relation to both Indian and European patients during the dominance of the British East India Company.

It is fascinating reading not only to students of colonial history, medical sociology and related disciplines, but to all those with a general interest in life in the colonies.
