Abstract
This literature review will show how the discipline of ethnopsychiatry was used by the colonial state to medicalize colonized people and justify the existence of European colonization. This literature review will also look at asylums in different African settler colonies to examine how ethnopsychiatry affected the asylums in these settler colonies.
