Anne C. Bailey is a writer, historian, and a tenured professor of History and Africana Studies at SUNY Binghamton (State University of New York).

Her works range from adult non-fiction to children’s historical fiction, and include African Voices of the Atlantic Slave Trade: Beyond the Silence and the Shame, Anchors in the Sand,You Can Make A Difference: The Story of Martin Luther King Jr., and Return to the Cave of Time. She is currently at work on her next book, The Weeping Time: Anatomy of a Slave Auction.
Bailey has given presentations all over the world at schools, universities, and historical organizations, including a historical reading at the first conference of “Black Writers in Paris.” She shared the stage with Paule Marshall, Louise Meriweather, and Ishmael Reed. She has also been a guest on television and radio shows, such as Tavis Smiley. She appeared on the cover of Essence magazine while she was a sophomore at Harvard, and a 1995 front-page story in the New York Daily News named her one of the 100 people under 40 to watch.
Bailey takes readers on a journey that spans many countries and several continents. Born in Jamaica to William and Daphne Bailey, her work has been informed by extended stays in Paris, London, and West Africa. After immigrating to New York City where she attended high school, she studied English and French at Harvard University and later got her Ph.D. in African History and African Diaspora Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.
