Alex Lichtenstein is professor of history and American studies, and chair of the American studies department, at Indiana University. His work centers on the intersection of labor history and the struggle for racial justice in societies shaped by white supremacy, particularly the U.S. South and South Africa. He has written about race relations in the U.S. labor movement, interracial agrarian radicalism, early civil rights struggles, and the impact of anticommunism on the labor and civil rights movements, in both the U.S. and South Africa. Recent work includes "Margaret Bourke-White and the Dawn of Apartheid" (based on a photo exhibit he curated), and "Marked and Unmarked, Remembered: A Geography of American Memory", a collaboration with his brother, photojournalist Andrew Lichtenstein. He has just curated an installation of artworks focused on the history of antilynching campaigns. He also leads international students on tours of civil rights memory sites in the American South.
