This collection explores the discursive production and treatment of
mental distress as it is mediated by gender and race in different
institutional contexts. Featuring analyses of the prison, the
psychiatric hospital, immigration detention, and other locales,
this book explores the multiple interlocking oppressions that
result in the diagnosis and medical, psychological, and psychiatric
treatment of individuals constituted as 'mentally ill' at various
historical moments and across institutional spaces. Contributors
unpack how feminine, masculine, and transgender bodies are made up
as mentally ill/sick/deviant by way of biomedical and institutional
knowledges and discourses and are intervened upon by different
institutional and expert authorities.
