I have degrees in Political Science and International Relations from Pennsylvania State University, the London School of Economics, and the University of Pennsylvania. My doctoral dissertation compared West Indian Black Power ideology and Latin American dependency theory. That dissertation is becoming a book portraying that Black Power movement as a precursor of today's Anti-Globalization movement. I co-edited a book on The Caribbean After Grenada: Revolution, Conflict and Democracy and wrote a chapter for it on “The Ideology of the Grenadian Revolution.” I am working on a Third World Politics textbook, to be followed by a book on development theory, a critique of American foreign policy in Iraq and beyond, and a comparative biography of Jamaican Prime Ministers Michael Manley and P. J. Patterson. I am a member of the Editorial Board of the New England Journal of Political Science. I direct a program in Political Economy, and I have taught courses in Political Psychology and Political Sociology. Besides the Caribbean Mosaic course presented here, I have co-developed two other interdisciplinary courses and helped launch courses on Ethnicity and Hunger.
