His research has been published in American Quarterly, Current Anthropology, Geoforum, the Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, and the Journal of Sustainable Tourism. His current book project is titled “A Fragmented Paradise: Race, Territory, and Black Autonomy on Honduras’s Emerald Coast.”
