In addition to the digital humanities project (“1968: I odezwą się z góry/Voices from the Mountaintop”) I’m working on with Marta Cieslak, my work is currently focused on the transnational history of race and class in the modern world economy. I’m finishing a book entitled The Common Bonds of the Black Atlantic: The Political Economy of Race and Class that resuscitates and builds on the thinking of an early to mid-twentieth century Black World school of class analysis in writing an alternative Black World history. Though a continuation of the themes I pursued in my first book, it is remote from the subject of my second book that was a spinoff of a documentary project on the Underground Railroad which I co-produced with Kevin Burke of the Electronic Media Department of the University of Cincinnati. Besides the opportunity to pursue the set of skills acquired in that endeavor, “1968” gives me the chance to advance my lifelong interest in Polish history and language dating from my days as an undergraduate study abroad student in Poland.
