Insanity in the 'age of mobility' : Melbourne and Auckland, 1850s-1880s -- Immigrants, mental health and social institutions : Melbourne and Auckland, 1850s-1890s -- Passing through : narrating patient identities in the colonial hospitals for the insane, 1873-1910 -- White men and weak masculinity : men in the public asylums, 1860s-1900s -- Insanity and white femininity : women in the public asylums, 1860s-1900s -- The 'others' : inscribing difference in colonial institutional settings.
Based on over 3000 institutional records, Coleborne's study will have wider relevance outside of the history of medicine and psychiatry. It has a global perspective but focuses on specific destinations, and in so doing, contributes in an innovative way to global history and the history of human migration.
