Description
Summary:This English-language study is dedicated to questions of gender research and the history of medicine in colonial North Africa. It shows that French psychiatrists described "normal" and "abnormal" behaviors of the colonized in the Maghreb and compared them to those of Europeans who had diagnosed them with "abnormality."
Diese englischsprachige Studie widmet sich Fragen der Genderforschung und der Medizingeschichte im kolonialen Nordafrika. Sie zeigt, dass französische Psychiater „normale“ und „abnormale“ Verhaltensweisen der Kolonisierten im Maghreb beschrieben und sie mit denjenigen von Europäern verglichen, die sie mit „Abnormalität“ diagnostiziert hatten.
