Soul: A Brief History of Black Cultural Life is forthcoming from Yale University Press. This book tells the story of how enslaved Africans and their descendants transformed America’s infamous failure into the greatest moral occasion of modern Western life.
I'm at work on a new book called Emancipation Blues. This book reimagines the problem of objectification across US literatures of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
