Frances Peace Sullivan is a historian of Latin America and the Caribbean. She focuses on transnational solidarity movements in the twentieth century, with a special emphasis on anti-imperialism and race-based mobilizations. Her book, Cuba’s Cosmopolitan Enclaves: Imperialism and Internationalism in Eastern Sugar Towns (University Press of Florida, 2025), tells the story of how company towns along Cuba’s northeastern coast became major hubs of internationalist organizing in the 1920s and 1930s. Her work has also appeared in the New West Indian Guide, the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and in edited volumes of Global Garveyism and Transnational Communism Across the Americas.
Sullivan is an award-winning educator who has experience teaching courses on Latin American, Caribbean, and African diasporic history, as well as on global solidarity movements, commodities in world history, insurgency and revolution in the Americas, and the Cold War in Latin America.
