La Castañeda Insane Asylum: Narratives of Pain in Modern Mexico

by Cristina Rivera Garza

La Casta?eda Insane Asylum is the first inside view of the workings of La Casta?eda General Insane Asylum--a public mental health institution founded in Mexico City in 1910 only months before the outbreak of the Mexican Revolution. It links life within the asylum's walls to the radical transformations brought about as Mexico entered the Revolution's armed phase and then endured under succeeding modernizing regimes.
