Glaude is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and Chair of the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. His writings, including Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul, In a Shade of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America, and his most recent, the New York Times bestseller, Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for our Own, take a wide look at Black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States and the challenges we face as a democracy. Glaude frequently appears in the media as a columnist for TIME Magazine and as an MSNBC contributor on programs like Morning Joe and Deadline Whitehouse with Nicolle Wallace. He regularly appears on Meet the Press on Sundays, and also hosts Princeton’s AAS podcast, a conversation around the field of African American Studies and the Black experience in the 21st century. |
