Sam Klug
Visiting Scholar in the Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History
Sam Klug is a historian of Black internationalism, the civil rights and Black Power movements, the U.S. in the world, and the history of ideas. He is currently working on his first book, provisionally titled The Internal Colony: Black Internationalism, Development, and the Politics of Colonial Comparison in the United States. This book project examines how competing interpretations of global decolonization contributed to a growing rift between the Black freedom movement and postwar liberalism in the mid-twentieth century United States.

He works as an Assistant Teaching Professor at Loyola University Maryland.
