Research Interests
My research interests lie in African American history and international history broadly defined. My book, Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I, looks at the black freedom struggle in the World War I years, with a particular focus on manhood, citizenship claims, and the international experience. I am especially interested in how African Americans lay claim to the American nation even as they explored identities that extended beyond geographic boundaries.
