I'm an Associate Professor of History and the Interim Director of the Humanities Research Center at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. I write about race, gender, and slavery in the colonial British Atlantic. My major publications include, A Dark Inheritance: Blood, Race, and Sex in Colonial Jamaica (Yale University Press, 2018), which is a finalist for the 2019 Frederick Douglass Book Prize awarded by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University for the most outstanding nonfiction book published in English during the previous year on the subject of slavery, abolition, and/or antislavery movements. A Dark Inheritance received the Gold Medal for World History in the 2019 Independent Publisher Book Awards and was named an “Essential Academic Title” and a Choice Magazine editors’ pick for January 2019. I am also the co-editor of Native Diasporas: Indigenous Identities and Settler Colonialism in the Americas (University of Nebraska Press, 2014).
