dark fast-paced

5.0

This was ambitious in scope and it did not disappoint! Using oral histories and her own experiences as well as archival sources, Hylton shows how Black Americans with mental health challenges or struggles with poverty or encounters with the police or who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time where institutionalized and pushed to the margins of society.
