I am a historian of African American, African Diaspora, and American History and a Black Studies scholar whose research interests range widely. Some of my abiding interests include the history of racism and capitalism, resistance and political radicalism, and black intellectuals. I am also deeply interested in global 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)
