Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Celia E. Naylor migrated to the United States
with her family in 1977. Her Jamaican roots in many ways sparked her enthusiasm
for African-American history and African Diasporic Studies in general. She
received her Ph.D. in History from Duke University.
Her current work explores the multifaceted connections between
African-Americans and Native Americans in the United States. She was one of the
coordinators of the conference "'Eating Out of the Same Pot': Relating
Black and Native (Hi)stories," held at Dartmouth College in April 2000.
Her publications include the chapter "'Born and raised among these people,
I don't want to know any other': Slaves' Acculturation in Nineteenth-Century
Indian Territory" in the anthology Confounding the Color Line: The
Indian-Black Experience in North America, edited by James F. Brooks
(University of Nebraska Press, 2002), the co-authored chapter (with Tiya Miles)
"African Americans in Indian Societies" in the Handbook of North
American Indians, volume 14—Southeast, edited by Raymond Fogelson
(Smithsonian Institution, 2004), as well as the essay "'Playing Indian'?:
The Selection of Radmilla Cody as Miss Navajo Nation 1997-1998" in the
collection Crossing Waters, Crossing Worlds: The African Diaspora in Indian
Country, edited by Sharon P. Holland and Tiya Miles (Duke University
Press, 2006). She is in the process of revising her dissertation for
publication; it is entitled Bondage, Resistance and Belonging:
African-American Slaves and Freedpeople in Nineteenth-Century Cherokee Nation,
Indian Territory.
Her interests include African-American and Caribbean history; Native
American history; women's history and literature in the African Diaspora; and
colonialism and neocolonialism in the Americas.
