Biography

Antoinette T. Jackson is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of South Florida in Tampa and Director of the USF Heritage Research Lab. She received a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Florida, an M.B.A. from Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a B.A. in Computer and Information Science from Ohio State University. Her last book, Speaking for the Enslaved—Heritage Interpretation at Antebellum Plantation Sites, was published in 2012 (Routledge).

The use of ethnographic and ethnohistorical analysis makes Heritage, Tourism, and Race a great case study for methodology classes in anthropology, history, and Black studies." - Ayana Omilade Flewellen, Transforming Anthropology
