I do research on southern Africa, mostly writing on Zimbabwe and Angola.  
I have published numerous books and papers on Zimbabwe and, to a lesser 
extent, Angola.  I have also begun some research on Rwanda and published a 
review article on the literature of the genocide and the Great Lakes 
conflict.

Besides teaching at several universities in the US, I served as a
Commonwealth adviser for the British Labour Party and a consultant to the
Minister of Information and Foreign Affairs in Zimbabwe in the 1980s.

I am also on the reviewers' list for H-Net Africa.
