Barnor Hesse is an associate professor of African American studies, political science, and sociology. He is author of Creolizing the Political: Western Lineages of Raceocracy (forthcoming, Duke University press). He has been published in the South Atlantic Quarterly, Ethnic and Racial Studies, and Social Identities.
