My name is Jeb Middlebrook and I am managing editor of American Quarterly, a PhD candidate in American studies & ethnicity at the University of Southern California, and director of the Solidarity Institute. The title of my current book manuscript is Challenging White Supremacy: Multiracial Alliance and Antiracist Organizing in the U.S.

I lecture nationally through the Institute for Democratic Education and Culture on topics of race, social movements, and popular culture, and will be on the job market for a tenure-track position as a university professor in 2010.
