In Black Madness :: Mad Blackness Theri Alyce Pickens rethinks the
relationship between Blackness and disability, unsettling the
common theorization that they are mutually constitutive. Pickens
shows how Black speculative and science fiction authors such as
Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and Tananarive Due craft new worlds
that reimagine the intersection of Blackness and madness. These
creative writer-theorists formulate new parameters for thinking
through Blackness and madness. Pickens considers Butler's Fledgling
as an archive of Black madness that demonstrates how race and
ability shape subjectivity while constructing the building blocks
for antiracist and anti-ableist futures. She examines how
Hopkinson's Midnight Robber theorizes mad Blackness and how Due's
African Immortals series contests dominant definitions of the
human. The theorizations of race and disability that emerge from
these works, Pickens demonstrates, challenge the paradigms of
subjectivity that white supremacy and ableism enforce, thereby
pointing to the potential for new forms of radical politics.
