The problem of how to treat the mentally handicapped attracted much attention from American reformers in the first half of the twentieth century In this book Steven Noll traces the history and development of institutions for the feebleminded in the South between 1900 and 1940 He examines the influences of gender race and class in the institutionalization process and relates policies in the South to those in the North and Midwest regions that had established similar institutions much earlier At the center of the story is the debate between the humanitarians who advocated institutionalization as a way of protecting and ministering to the mentally deficient and public policy adherents who were primarily interested in controlling and isolating perceived deviants According to Noll these conflicting ideologies meant that most southern institutions were founded without a clear mission or an understanding of their relationship to southern society at large Noll creates a vivid portrait of life and work within institutions throughout the South and the impact of institutionalization on patients and their families He also examines the composition of the population labeled feebleminded and demonstrates a relationship between demographic variables and institutional placement including their effect on the determination of a patients degree of disabilityOriginally published in 1995A UNC Press Enduring Edition UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print These editions are published unaltered from the original and are presented in affordable paperback formats bringing readers both historical and cultural value

Mentally retarded individuals have been studied almost exclusively as clinical entities not as persons immersed in the stream of social life This has led not only to a lack of appreciation for the complexity of their lives and concerns but also to an underestimation and incomplete understanding of their intellectual and linguistic skills By exploring aspects of the ongoing linguistic and social lives of retarded individuals in various community contexts this volume contributes to a growing body of literature which attempts to fill in this inadequate picture In addition the studies in this volume offer social scientists insights into the way that stigma such as that associated with intellectual and social incompetence affects social groups and influences conversational behavior and language use
