Dedicated to bringing a fresh view of culture and society to the public, he is a regular guest lecturer at colleges and universities across the country and internationally, and on various television programs.

Dr. Zuberi is the author of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot: The Mortality Cost of Colonizing Liberia in the Nineteenth-Century" and "Thicker than Blood: How Racial Statistics Lie." He has recently completed a manuscript entitled "Pearls of the African Sea: Jenne, Gao, and Timbuktu." He is the editor of "The General Demography of Africa" and co-editor of "The Demography of South Africa" and "White Logic, White Methods: Racism and Methodology."

Raised in the housing projects of Oakland, California in the 1970s, he embraced the name Tukufu Zuberi – Swahili for "beyond praise" and "strength."
