the Cultural Politics of Race, numerous articles
and book chapters and, just recently, a co-edited volume

Segregation and American Social Thought in the Twentieth
Century. His current research focuses on a book-length

American Life, 1944-1984, exploring how children’s
lives came to symbolize America’s struggles with
poverty and racism in the postwar era. Professor Keppel

history, including courses on the history of the media,
Cold War culture, and race relations. He received his
Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles.
