Joshua Clark Davis

Joshua Clark Davis is an associate professor of U.S. history at the University of Baltimore. He is also the author of Police Against The Movement: The Sabotage of the Civil Rights Struggle and the Activists Who Fought Back, a retelling of the civil rights movement through its overlooked work against police violence—and the police who attacked the movement with surveillance, undercover agents, and retaliatory prosecutions. His first book, From Head Shops to Whole Foods, examines organic food stores, feminist enterprises, Black bookstores and other businesses that emerged from movements of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Dr. Davis has published widely and earned awards from the Fulbright Program, the Silvers Foundation, and the NEH Public Scholars Program.
