Abstract
Mentally ill, Community mental health services, Montréal (Quebec : Province)
Waanzin., Etnische identiteit., Stadssociologie, Thuislozen.
Caroline Knowles, with photography by Ludovic Dabert. Includes bibliographical references (p. 175-177) and index.
We cite from the cover:
"Bedlam on the Streets explores the interplay between madness, race/ethnicity and the city, and traces the terms on which the mad occupy the city's streets, homeless shelters, rooming houses, shopping malls and fast food joints. Caroline Knowles situates this social geography of madness within the broader parameters of systems of social welfare, globalization and race, arguing that the 'community mental health care' system is a system of neglect. A richly textured visual/spatial ethnography, this combines photographic images of people and places with an examination of city space and the voices of schizophrenics. These provide harrowing testimony of the terrifying descent into madness in their stories of daily life marked by vulnerability and dangerousness."
