Jonathan Karp

Jonathan Karp is an NEH Postdoctoral Fellow at the Robert Penn Warren Center, researching social movements and performance in the United States from the early 20th century to the present. His book project, Performances of Aftermath, investigates the 1917 East St. Louis massacre to show how collective racial violence becomes known: hidden in the everyday in a project of white supremacy or wrenched out by those fighting for redress.
