Madness: race and insanity in a Jim Crow asylum

Part One-Breaking ground. A negro asylum

All the superintendent's men

The sea, the farm, and the forest

What could drive a Black person mad?

The architecture of injustice

Part Two-Fear and fury. Cousin Maynard

Black men are escaping

A burning house

A bus ride to Rosewood

Part Three-The promise of integration. Love and broken promises

Out of sight, out of mind

Medical and surgical

Nurse Faye and Sonia King

Part Four-Black power and pathology. Screaming at the sky

The curious case of the Elkton three

Sympathy for me, but not thee

Part Five-Where have all the patients gone? In the balance

Irredeemable or incurable

The fire

Closing Crownsville

Epilogue: But by the grace of God.
