Biography

EDUDZI DAVID SALLAH is a Ph.D. candidate in English at Texas A&M University, where he also earned his MA in Performance Studies. His MA thesis examined the grim spectacle of a now-defunct pre-nineteenth-century Anlo-Ewe (an ethnolinguistic community of Ghana) form of capital punishment called toko atolia, which won him research grants and a fellowship. He is interested in Africana literary cultures and Digital Humanities. His ongoing research in Transatlantic Black Religious Culture focuses on the transatlantic history of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and its implications for Black transnationalism. He examines this history within the Africana intellectual paradigms.
