HI
I like your stuff -- especially that on traditional
societies versus Western ways of dealing with illness. You said: In
this
[I]t is us in the West who are
primitive, and the tribal people (patronised and exploited by colonisers) who
are our superiors.
Yes -- I believe you are correct on that. In the
West, one is not permitted to be human -- to have the full range of emotions
from love, to compassion to inflamed anger. Therefore, we do not know how
to deal with people who are not simply working or going along with the
programme. We lack -- very often -- even the most basic psychological
insights into how people naturally react to a range of things.
I am studying the Zimbabwean writer, Dambudzo Marechera.
You would like his stuff. He was considered mad by most of the Western
critics that wrote about him, but actually he was an immensely perceptive
survivor of hugely oppressive situations. There is so much humanity in his
writing that is dismissed as mere 'madness'.

Some days I wonder
if it will ever change. We've been out here ten years hearing the same story,
and Lynn W at manyvoicespress.com has been listening to it for twenty. Though
not new, perhaps a fresh view for others to listen to.Thank you for being out
here, brave enough to speak out, and I am honored to meet you. LJ

Hi my name is
John
I totally understand where your website is coming
from. I have been failed by the system and for over a decade by the Mental
Health and then sadly as a reaction to it the heath service as a whole. I have
been traumatized myself by the Mental Health. I do not distinguish it from any
other type of Abuse I have suffered. But after all the other types of people I
received neglect and so on from. The health service I still struggle to
believe what has happened. And how they just drive it deeper and deeper.
Especially as I stood up vocally to what they said in 1996 and beyond. I have a
sad reputation now built up because I dared to question. I dared to
disagree or have an opinion that was different to them. They are to obsessed by
there own importance backed up by a system that just believes so they have total
impunity and they know it.
