Chris Quispel <G.C.Quispel@let.leidenuniv.nl> Leiden University At the moment I am working on a couple of articles on the influence of African-American culture on American mainstream culture. I am especially interested in the mechanisms that made it possible for the culture of a group of people that has been the victim of suppression and racism almost througout it's history, to become nevertheless such a dominant influence on American culture in general. I am also working on an article about the concept of whiteness as it is used in American discussions and it's usefulness in the European and especially the Dutch situation. |

Bio: I have a PhD in history at Leiden University. At this moment I am working at Leiden University as an associate professor. In 2002 I published a book on American racial relations in the twentieth century. Publications in the past have been about European social history in general and also about the history of South Africa. The last couple of years all my publcations have been about aspects of racial relations in the United States. I teach courses on European social and economic history, about the history of antisemitism and of course about racial relations in teh United States. |
