His research was made possible by grants awarded to him by the ISU Humanities/Social Science Research Committee. The awards allowed him to visit two key archives: the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library in Harlem, N.Y., and the Emma Goldman Papers Project at University of California, Berkley.
Norman began the project in 2002 and finished four years later, when the State University of New York (SUNY) Press selected the book for publication. While he has been published in a variety of scholarly journals, this is his first scholarly book. The paperback copy sells for $24.95 (ISBN 978-0-7914-7236-1).
Norman came to ISU in 2004 from Rutgers University in New Jersey, where he received his doctorate in American literature. His areas of specialty include African-American, ethnic American, twentieth-century, and feminist literatures.
Norman is already at work on his next project, a study of Jim Crow segregation in Post-Civil Rights American fiction. That project emerges from his stint as guest editor of a special issue of African American Review on Representing Segregation (due out spring 2008). He will spend the coming spring semester as a visiting research fellow at the Center for Humanities at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. The center is the oldest in the United States and it is near archives that will prove important for his research on that book.
