I like to entertain, read, travel, golf, and eat.

I am a cultural anthropologist and the author of Searching for Whitopia. My writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post and elsewhere. Also, I've appeared as a commentator on MSNBC and CNN. I am grateful for the support that my work has received from the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers, the Ford Foundation, Princeton University, the Rockefeller Foundation, the New York Historical Society, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Institute.
