​The Color Black
: Enslavement and Erasure in Iran (forthcoming with Duke University Press), unearths an intentionally hidden history of enslavement and race in Iran. Drawing on an interdisciplinary methodological approach to analyze textual, visual, and spatial sources, The Color Black pulls this long-ignored history into focus to trace the end of slavery and its many afterlives in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
