History
Summary
Research Interests
I teach transnational and comparative history, including United States, modern European, and Latin American history courses. My research focuses on the intersection of the labor movement, radical politics, and racial oppression in the Americas. My first book looked at the Communist International and the Communist movement in the United States in the 1920s; I am currently writing a book about the Passaic textile strike of 1926, the first major strike led by the Communist Party. I am also researching Afro-Caribbean migration, Communism, and the labor movement in the Greater Caribbean and Central American in the interwar period.
