Nigeria

My research is primarily on women's social and economic history in Africa
and the Caribbean.

My current project is "The Great Upheaval: The Egba Women's Tax Revolt:
Gender and Nationalist Politics in Nigeria, 1945-1954."

Currently, I am on the editorial board of the Journal of African
History and the Indiana University Press series "Blacks in the Diaspora."

I teach general survey courses on Africa and the Caribbean as well as
upper level courses on Nationalism and Decolonization in Africa, Women and
the State in Africa, and Textile Production and Social Use in Africa.

The bluest hands: a social and economic history of women dyers in
Abeokuta (Nigeria), 1890-1940. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann; Oxford:
James Currey, c2002. (263 p.)
