Nicholas Grant teaches on a range of subjects related to African American and black diaspora history at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. To date, his work has focused on how African Americans managed to forge connections with anticolonial activists in Africa throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Based on extensive research in the United States and South Africa, he has explored the development of global antiapartheid activism in order to address broader issues relating to the ways in which white governments sought to control black mobility during the early cold war. He is currently working on his first monograph, We Shall Win Our Freedoms Together: African Americans, South Africa and Black International Protest, 1945–1960.
