Cliopatria is pleased to welcome Jonathan Reynolds to our group. Now an associate professor of history at Northern Kentucky University, Professor Reynolds did his undergraduate work at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, his graduate work at Boston University, and has taught previously at the University of Tennessee, Livingstone College and elsewhere. He is the author of The Time of Politics (Zamanin Siyasa): Islam and the Politics of Legitimacy in Northern Nigeria, 1950-1966 (1999), with Erik Gilbert, of Africa in World History (2003), and of many articles. Professor Reynolds is editor of H-Africa and an advisory board member of H-Hausa. He has also traveled extensively in Europe, the Mediterranean, and west Africa. Apart from many academic honors, Jonathan Reynolds is a truck drivin', fishing lovin' kinda guy whose recordings of the Blues can be bought at a reasonable price. The brother of our new Cliopatriarch of Cincinnati is Glenn Reynolds, who teaches law at the University of Tennessee and has a modest reputation in the blogosphere."He's the smart one; I'm the good looking one," says Jonathan.
