“Excited Delirium” - An enthralling anthropological text that is deeply relevant to a long-term project I’ve been writing on inquests, medical examiners, and police power. Incredible work, @beliso-dejesus.bsky.social! www.dukeupress.edu/excited-deli...

The man who invented the disease had been a self-styled expert on Santería in Miami. Beliso-De Jesús tracks the continuities in his racist inventions while also telling the story of her own hauntings following the diagnosis from case to case in moving diary interludes. @dukepress.bsky.social

Aisha Beliso-De Jesús' book tell the story of an invented disease "excited delirium" not recognized by the AMA or other medical authorities, but used regularly to explain Black and Brown people dying in police custody. The panel on it at AAA in Tampa last week was fantastic. It's a powerful book!
