I am an interdisciplinary scholar of Black History, American History, and transnational history, with particular attention to intellectual history, race, and politics, among other things. 

"We said in our introduction that man was an affirmation. We shall never stop repeating it. Yes to life. Yes to love. Yes to generosity. But man is also a negation. No to man's contempt. No to the indignity of man. To the exploitation of man. To the massacre of what is most human in man: freedom." 

--Frantz Fanon (1952)
