Have been looking forward to this one from my good friend @dajohnsonii.bsky.social for a while now. Highly recommend.

Cover page for new book titled The Predatory Sea: Human Trafficking and Captivity in the Seventeenth-Century Caribbean

A wonderful distraction from the world literally burning to the ground: page proofs for The Predatory Sea! 🗃️

Coming to bookstores (if those still exist) in September!

I heard this is a pretty good way to get Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina.

Found my book in the wild at the JHUP booth AND it’s beside my good friend Maria Montalvo’s too! #AHA2025

In January 2026, I am slated to begin a term as editor of the Journal of Southern History at Rice, and the SHA is looking for a New Book Review Editor at another institution to work with me. Please apply! Review of applications begins this month.

Today is the official pub date for The Women of Rendezvous! It still feels surreal to hold it in my hands. It would not have happened without the amazing friends who got me over the finishing line nor the fab crew @uncpress.bsky.social

Played a bit of the audio version of my book, _Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of Colonial South Carolina_. I love, love, love the narrator's voice.
