Culture, Mind, and Society: An Ethnography of African American Men in Psychiatric Custody

Hejtmanek, Katie Rose

Friendship, Love, and Hip Hop investigates how young Black men live and change inside a mental institution in contemporary America. While the youth in Hejtmanek's study face the rigidity of institutionalized life, they also productively maneuver through what the author analyzes as the 'give' - friendship, love, and hip hop - in the system.
