Paper Summary:
The paper examines McClintock's argument in "Double Crossings: Madness, Sexuality and Imperialism" that mental illness has been constructed as a condition, not only of sexual deviance but also of racial deviance, in dangerous liaison with each other. The paper explains that the context of this argument is South Africa during the 1930s, where a white woman became pregnant with a black man. She was labeled with premature senile dementia and confined for life to a mental institution. The paper examines the issues involved in this narrative of Bessie Emery and her daughter, the novelist Bessie Head, that include gender, race and colonialist hegemony.More papers on Gender and Race:
