 ry humanities scholar, cultural critic and theorist, Black/black studies
  devotee, first-generation college graduate, and Associate Professor of 
 American Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park. The recipie
 nt of fellowships and prizes from the Ford Foundation, Mellon Foundation\
 , and Modern Language Association, Bruce studies black expressive culture
 s—especially literature, music, film, and the art and aesthetics of quo
 tidian black life. His writings appear in such venues as American Quarterl
 y, The Black Scholar, GLQ, Social Text, TDR, and African American Rev
 iew, for which he won the Joe Weixlma\n Prize for Best Essay. His debut b
 ook, How to Go Mad without Losing Your Mind: Madness and Black Radical Cr
 eativity, earned the Nicolás Cristóbal Guillén Batista Outstanding Book A
 ward. Now he’s in the thick of a project on—and experiment in—convergences
  of love and madness. He sometimes calls it The Afromantic. \n\nContact In
