Jonathan T. Reynolds <reynolds@mail.h-net.msu.edu> Northern Kentucky University Always interested in discussing the relationship of African Studies vis-a-vis other fields of scholarship. Also issues of Outreach and "mainstreaming" things African. In recent years, this interest has led me to examine the interaction between African Studies and World History. Strangely enough, this activity has apparently turned me into a World Historian. Oh well, I've always been a hopeless generalist. |
