Claude Clegg, research and teaching interests focus on the African diaspora of the Atlantic world. I am interested in the ways in which people of African descent have created and imagined communities and identities outside of Africa, particularly in the slave and post-emancipation societies of North America and the Caribbean. He has taught several courses in diasporic history, including African-American history, the African Diaspora, Slave Resistance in the Americas, Abolitionism, Black Southerners, and Africans in Colonial America. Future courses that I teach will likely continue to be interdisciplinary and transnational in perspective and largely concerned with the multifaceted ways that African peoples experienced and interpreted centuries of migration and exchanges across regions, economies, cultures, and histories. Presently, I am writing a book about the last phase of the Haitian Revolution, with particular attention to the leadership of Jean Jacques Dessalines. Selected Awards: Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title (for The Price of Liberty) (2004), One of five finalists for the 2005 Frederick Douglass Book Prize, sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition, Yale University (for The Price of Liberty). Research Interests: The African Diaspora of the Atlantic world, Social movements, African Americans in the U.S. South.
