This essay takes mental illness as an analytic tool to explore male immigrants’ sexual experiences in America at the turn of the twentieth century. It focuses on immigrant men’s sexual “delusions,” in which they “imagined” intimate relationships with mostly white American women. This intriguing topic of research reveals the process by which male immigrants’ sexuality—sexual experiences and expressions—became not just a deviant act but a tangible disease leading to mental hospital commitments and later deportations. Relying on the authority of legal and medical knowledge at immigration stations and mental hospitals, American society tried to locate, treat, and eliminate dangerous sexuality of male immigrants. This essay draws on contemporary reports on prison and hospital commitments, newspaper articles, deportation files from immigration stations, and the Stockton State Hospital commitment registers (California) to reconstruct the experiences of male immigrants with alleged sexual “delusions” and reexamine the ways in which their racial and national differences shaped their encounters with American institutions.
Abstract
This essay takes mental illness as an analytic tool to explore male immigrants’ sexual experiences in America at the turn of the twentieth century. It focuses on immigrant men’s sexual “delusions,” in which they “imagined” intimate relationships with mostly white American women. This intriguing topic of research reveals the process by which male immigrants’ sexuality—sexual experiences and expressions—became not just a deviant act but a tangible disease leading to mental hospital commitments and later deportations. Relying on the authority of legal and medical knowledge at immigration stations and mental hospitals, American society tried to locate, treat, and eliminate dangerous sexuality of male immigrants. This essay draws on contemporary reports on prison and hospital commitments, newspaper articles, deportation files from immigration stations, and the Stockton State Hospital commitment registers (California) to reconstruct the experiences of male immigrants with alleged sexual “delusions” and reexamine the ways in which their racial and national differences shaped their encounters with American institutions.
