"The sheer range of academic discourses that Bruce engages–from disability studies and psychoanalysis to affect theory and black studies–is impressive enough. What Bruce does within their intersections, however, is create a kind of poetics of black madness–a way of looking that is itself a way a making; or maybe it's the converse–a way of making that is itself a way of looking. . . I can't predict the future, but it's so obvious to me that scholars will long be grateful for Bruce's expansive imagination and the careful attention paid to radical black creativity in this wildly astute and socially and emotionally conscious work."–Dawn Lundy Martin "4Columns" (4/30/2021 12:00:00 AM)
