about

I am a Professor of African Cultural Studies and the Faculty Director of the African Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

My research-driven writing explores contemporary Angolan history, music, media studies, film and contemporary art. I have published work in academic journals, on blogs like Africasacountry.com, and opinion pieces in The Guardian online, The Conversation, and Jornal de Angola.

The author of two books, I am at work on a new book about the Luanda Trial of Mercenaries in 1976.
