About Me
Queens born political science professor residing in Philadelphia. Author of 2022 Association of American Publishers' PROSE Best Book Award in Government and Politics for Stars and Shadows: The Politics of Interracial Friendship From Jefferson to Obama. My book on Malcolm X's speech at Oxford (Malcolm X at Oxford Union: Racial Politics in a Global Era) is now in development to become a film (Number 9 Films, UK). I've written 6 books in political history, most recently a book on Lincoln I hope to publish next year, but admittedly, I'm most excited about the possibility of publishing a novel. Currently seeking dual citizenship with Italy. I have two cats, Orson and Oscar, in addition to 16 year old triplets.
