Review
"A trail-blazing survey of the developments in the United States from the early nineteenth century right up to the present." -- Roy Porter, Times Literary Supplement
"This well-written history of mental retardation documents our changing perceptions of the 'feebleminded.' . . . This is must reading for anyone interested in this vital subject. Replete with shocking photographs and a 40- page reference list. A shattering document." -- Psychoanalytic Books
"Trent traces the long, catastrophic narrative of alienation, institutionalization, pathology, abuse, sterilization, neglect, rescue, and again, abuse." -- Janet Lyon and Michael Brub, Voice Literary Supplement
