She is now co-editing with Michel Feith a collection of essays on The Harlem Renaissance. A Fellow at the W.E.B.

Michel Feith is an Assistant Professor at the University of Nantes, France. He has spent several years abroad; his experience of living in Australia, Japan and the United States has sensitivized him to issues of multiculturalism.
