Assistant Professor of American Literature and History at Duke Kunshan University
I am a literary scholar and historian, and my work spans 19th and 20th century transnational
American studies, comparative race and ethnic studies, and Afro-Asian connections
in the context of race, imperialism, and empire. My major intellectual theme revolves
around the reception of American writers such as Mark Twain, Langston Hughes, and
W.E.B. Du. Bois in China, and how major themes articulated in their body of work are
translated in modern and Maoist China.
