Visiting historian to deliver lecture on Friday

Jason Parker, a history professor at Texas A&M University, will present a lecture this Friday at 2 p.m. in Irby 215. His topic will be "The American Lake or the Castro Caribbean? The United States, the Cold War, and the Decolonization of the West Indies."

Oxford University Press will soon publish Parker's new book, entitled, "The United States, Race, and Empire in the British Caribbean, 1937-1962." Parker's lecture is sponsored by the History Department and Phi Alpha Theta, UCA's student honor society in history.
