Bio: I am a historian of West Africa and the Atlantic World. I received my PhD in History from Emory University in 2004 and was previously Assistant Professor of African History at the University of Pittsburgh and the College of Charleston. My first book, _The Fante and the Transatlantic Slave Trade_ (Rochester 2011) was a finalist for the African Studies Association's Herskovits book prize. I am co-editor of _Slavery and its Legacy in Ghana and the Diaspora_ (Bloomsbury 2017). |
