Department Member, African American Studies
About
I am currently working on a book about race and gender in early Los Angeles. My study emphasizes issues of labor, politics, and culture through the intersection of this diverse community with other communities of color. I have completed an extensive database of almost all the African American families in Los Angeles (1850 - 1910).
My research and teaching interests focus on the middle 19th and early 20th century urban U.S., including a range of specialized courses on U.S. Religious History, History of the West, Gender History, and History of Los Angeles as well as US History and African American History broadly defined.
