Dr. Lubin’s research sits at the intersection of African Diaspora Studies and Middle East/North African history. He is the author of Geographies of Liberation: The Making of an Afro-Arab Political Imaginary (UNC Press), and Never-Ending War on Terror (UC Press). He is also co-editor of American Studies Encounters the Middle East (UNC Press) and Futures of Black Radicalism (Verso Books). Lubin is currently working on a history of the Afro-Asian People’s Solidarity Organization (AAPSO), which was called, “the people’s Bandung.” This project explores ways that African American music, visual art, and poetry were transformed by, and were transformative of, Cairo’s Third World, Afro-Arab politics.
