Homeless Wanderers: Movement and Mental Illness in the Cape Colony in the Late 19th Century
Sally Swartz
There are a number of studies describing colonial lunatic asylums, and more broadly, colonial psychiatry and its operation in Africa. This monograph breaks new ground in tracing the route of people thought to be "of unsound mind" from their homes and families to eventual committal to a lunatic asylum in the Cape Colony in the late nineteenth century.
