This was a powerful yet dense look at the anti-psychiatry movement and the abolition of carceral psychiatry. There's a lot to love here - anti-capitalism, decolonial view of madness, anti-imperial and abolitionist views of mental health care. Nonetheless, it is highly academic and theoretical, to the point I'm not sure how much of it I retained, writing this brief review almost 3 months after having read it. It's not a bad book - just a thick one! Big rec for Health Communism fans.
