Publications	My first body of published work focused on the Asante nationalist opposition to Nkrumah in the 1950s (The Quills of the Porcupine. --Madison, Wisc.: Univ. of Wisc. Press, 1993).

Published portions of that project have appeared in Gender and History, History Workshop and the Journal of African History.
