Tukufu Zuberi has written on many issues of pressing contemporary concern, including civil rights, race, class, social status, health, poverty, and public policy. A public sociologist, Professor Zuberi has sought to allow the public to view everyday life in the broader social and historical context and to tell the stories that “allow people to see how history is related to their everyday lives.
Dr. Zuberi is a Professor of Sociology, the Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations, and Director of the Center for Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. His books include Thicker Than Blood: How Racial Statistics Lie (2001), and Swing Low Sweet Chariot: The Mortality Cost of Colonizing Liberia in the Nineteenth Century (1995); and he has written more than 40 scholarly articles. Professor Zuberi is also co-host for the PBS program History Detectives, a nationally syndicated series that seeks to uncover the mysteries of America’s past, and is currently working on a PBS documentary on Africa.
