Legitimate Protest and the Construction of "Reason" w/ Stefanie Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu (02/29/24)
Death Panel
Mental Illness and Protest Legitimacy
This chapter explores the complex relationship between mental health and political activism, questioning the societal narratives that undermine the legitimacy of protests by individuals with mental health diagnoses. It reflects on historical movements, such as the Socialist Patients Collective, and discusses how mental illness is used to delegitimize resistance against oppressive systems, particularly within the context of colonial struggles. The dialogue reveals the dangers of categorizing dissent as madness and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the autonomy and voices of those labeled as 'mentally ill' in the quest for social justice.
