Explore the intricate social, cultural, and political dynamics of New Zealand between 1860 and 1910 with "Migration, Ethnicity, and Madness." Authored by Angela McCarthy and published by Otago University Press, this essential paperback delves into the often-overlooked narratives of migrants, particularly those involved in asylum experiences. Understanding how migration influenced mental health outcomes, the book uses a wealth of archival sources, including lunatic asylum records, immigration files, and medical journals, to provide an in-depth analysis of the intersection of ethnicity and madness.

By focusing on individual and family experiences, it illuminates the hardships faced by migrants and challenges the dominant narratives surrounding successful integrations. The text reveals how discrimination, exclusion, and marginalization were pervasive issues of the time, echoing sentiments that resonate in today's society. This comprehensive study underscores the importance of context in the understanding of migration, making it a vital resource for historians, sociologists, and anyone interested in the complexities of New Zealand's past.

Migration, Ethnicity, Madness: New Zealand 1860–1910 provides a social, cultural, and political history of migration, ethnicity, and madness in New Zealand between 1860 and 1910. Its key aim is to analyse the ways that patients, families, asylum officials, and immigration authorities engaged with the ethnic backgrounds and migration histories and pathways of asylum patients and why. Exploring such issues enables us to appreciate the difficulties that some migrants experienced in their relocation abroad, hardships that are often elided in studies of migration that focus on successful migrant settlement. Drawing upon lunatic asylum records (including patient casebooks and committal forms), immigration files, Surgeon Superintendents’ reports, Asylum Inspectors’ reports, medical journals and legislation, the book highlights the importance of examining antecedent experiences, the migration process itself, and settlement in the new land as factors that contributed to admission to an asylum. The study also raises broader themes beyond the asylum of discrimination, exclusion, segregation, and marginalisation, issues that are as evident in society today as in the past.

CLEAR and not cloudy! Smooth edges, well made, flexible enough not to break easily but gives support and structure to the contents. Very versatile sizes too! The included rubber-like stick-on feet is a brilliant addition. Just buy ‘em!

Great drawer organizers
Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear, Size: 21 Pack, Color: Clear
Comes with grip pads for each tray. No sliding around in the drawer. Perfect sizes and ways to use. Filled 4 kitchen drawers and still extra pieces for a 5th drawer. Great for organizing craft room or anywhere. Each tray came separately bagged so no scratches. For clear plastic, seems very durable. Would buy again.
