Patrick Manning, trained as an economic historian of Africa, has continued to work in that area and has also applied the lessons of African historiography to studies of the African diaspora and world history.
He directed the World History Center at Northeastern from 1994 until its closure in 2004. He was project director for Migration in Modern World History, 1500-2000 (Wadsworth, 2000), a CD-ROM produced at the center. He has since published Navigating World History: Historians Create a Global Past (Palgrave Macmillan, 2003), and Migration in World History (Routledge, 2004). His current book projects include an interpretation of the African diaspora and a demographic analysis, African Population in the Slave-Trade Era.
Professor Manning is currently teaching at the University of Pittsburgh. See his website at http://www.worldhistorynetwork.org/manning/
