Description

Bedlam on the Streets by Routledge examines the social geography of mental illness and homelessness in contemporary cities, tracing how people experiencing mental health crises navigate urban spaces including streets, shelters, shopping centres and fast food outlets. This hard-hitting ethnography combines stark photographic documentation with critical analysis of community mental health care systems, arguing that deinstitutionalisation has created a landscape of neglect rather than genuine support. Situated within broader frameworks of social welfare policy and globalisation, the book offers a richly textured investigation into the lived experiences of marginalised populations and the structural failures that have displaced vulnerable people from institutional care into urban poverty.
