By training I am a historian. I earned a doctorate in African
history at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA),
where I briefly taught and later worked as an associate editor on
the Marcus Garvey Papers. My publications include five books on
Africa, including my dissertation, which was published as
Migrant Kingdom: Mzilikazi’s Ndebele in South Africa.
I
also co-edited the first book publication of George S. Schuyler’s
serial novel,
Black Empire
, for which I co-wrote a lengthy
afterword. My most recent books also include
Farewell to Jim
Crow: The Rise and Fall of Segregation in America
and
Pueblo
, a children’s book on the pueblo dwellings of the
Indians of the Southwest. This page has images of my history books. I shall, as soon as I
can find time, add descriptions of each book.
The illustration above, taken from the cover of
Migrant
Kingdom
, is a contemporary drawing of Ndebele people on the
march in 1835.
