Tento autor zkoumá složitost americké historie a kultury, se zvláštním zaměřením na témata jako otroctví, abolicionismus a formování identity. Jeho práce se zabývá dilematy sebeurčení a dopadem vizuálních médií, jako je fotografie, na naše chápání minulosti i současnosti. Jeho hluboké znalosti historie americké civilizace a africko-amerických studií dodávají jeho spisům jedinečnou perspektivu. Autor tak nabízí pronikavý pohled na přetrvávající otázky rasové spravedlnosti a sociálního protestu.
