I am a historian of Black History in the United States and an interdisciplinary scholar of Black Studies with wide-ranging research interests. In general, my work uses the lenses of intellectual history and Black Studies to consider the intersections of race, class, capitalism, knowledge, and power in modern black America. I am also a proponent of social theory.
 

"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)
