Anna Duensing is a historian of the United States and the world, specializing in African American history, Black radicalism, transnational social movements, and the evolving global politics of white supremacy across the twentieth century. She is currently working on her first book manuscript Fascism Is Already Here: Civil Rights and the Making of a Black Antifascist Tradition. The book follows Black activists, artists, intellectuals, and their multiracial coalitions from the 1930s through the 1970s to map a long arc of Black antifascism in the United States and, by doing so, seeks to better understand the specter of fascism within the U.S. political landscape.
