With evocative detail, Crump draws readers into the social and cultural milieu of early nineteenth-century Bristol, a world of pre-scientific medicine and the emerging fields of anthropology and psychiatry. He also challenged the rising tide of scientific racism starting to fester in the academic halls of Europe and the US.
