This book seeks to excavate the differences between the post-colonial rural Indian form of subjectivity and the modern Western permutation of the same to bring forth the epistemic constraints that inform the understanding and experience of madness.
Ayurdhi Dhar, Ph.D., is an instructor of psychology at the University of West Georgia. She has taught psychology in the United States and in India, where she also worked as a psychotherapist. Her research interests include the relation between schizophrenia and immigration, discursive practices sustaining the concept of mental illness, and critiques of acontextual and ahistorical forms of knowledge. She spends her time negotiating the guilt of being an ardent animal lover and meat eater.
