Black Madness :: Mad Blackness

Speculative fiction has a nasty habit of composing futures in which Black and mad people are nonexistent. These imagined futures are miraculously devoid of such “problematic” people. But what if we read or imagined otherwise? Black Madness :: Mad Blackness is situated in this otherwise. As a theoretical intervention, Pickens weaves between the intersections of Blackness and madness to open a much-needed conversation.
