Daniel Widener is an associate professor in the History Department at the University of California, San Diego, where he teaches African American history and California history. His work examines expressive culture, race, ethnicity and political radicalism, and his essays have appeared in Positions, Emergences, and other venues.  Prof. Widener’s book manuscript is titled Black Arts West: Cultures of Struggle in Black Los Angeles, 1942-1992. It examines the postwar black freedom struggle from the point of view of expressive culture, arguing that culture formed a central dimension of black efforts to eliminate segregation, transform the institutional limitations of urban reform, and engage the incorporative politics that followed black electoral successes during the Bradley years (1973-92).
