Über Autor(innen)

Timothy E. Nelson was born in South Central Los Angeles, raised in Compton, California, during the early 1990s, and went to Santa Monica Community College in the wake of race- and class-based conflict with the Los Angeles Police Department. Providing the most in-depth research on Blackdom to date, he reframes the history, focusing on the economic and social ambitions of Afro-Frontierists (Black pioneers). Through various art forms—academic books, trade books, screenplays, painting, photography, and videography—Dr. Nelson is digitally applying his theory of colonization within the digital frontier. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
