Research Interests My current research focuses on the study of race, class and gender identities in "the colonial city" and how these identities impact upon nationalist discourse -- especially in Africa. This research has resulted in a book manuscript on the social history of the nationalist movement in Nigeria which centers on the city and environs of Enugu, highlighting several social groups who give the colonial city its cultural and contested nature. The working title is: 'Cowboys' Letter Writers and Dancing Women: Identity and Struggles over Space, Leisure and Time in a West African City: Enugu, Nigeria 1914-1955. Another long standing interest is the impact of slavery and the slave trade in southeastern Nigeria. For several years, I have been directing a project with colleagues in Nigeria interviewing people in villages in southeastern Nigeria on video and documenting how the slave trade is remembered.
