NY, USAs a social historian in the departments of History and Africana Studies at SUNY Binghamton, I am dedicated to the study of African American history and African Diaspora Studies more generally. My own research has centered on the history of the Atlantic slave trade and its impact on Africa and its worldwide diaspora. I am particularly interested in bringing voices of the past that have been previously at the margins of historical discourse to the center of inquiry. As such, my recent book, AFRICAN VOICES OF THE ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE: BEYOND THE SILENCE AND THE SHAME ( Beacon Press 2005 and Ian Randle Publishers 2006) looks at memories of the slave trade from the African perspective. Finally, I am also interested in the interplay of race and gender in the Americas in the 18 th and 19 th centuries.
African Voices of the Atlantic Slave Trade: Beyond the Silence and Shame (Beacon Press, 2005 and Ian Randle Publishers 2006). Historical monograph on the memories of the slave trade from the perspective of African communities; based on over 40 oral histories of chiefs and other elders with a focus on the major theme of the impact of the slave trade on Africa as well as African resistance to slavery. Cover won the Association of American University Press Award for best cover and book jacket in 2005. For selective reviews and excerpts in The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Nation, Harvard Magazine and The Chronicle of Higher Education, [see: Harvard Magazine, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
