I am Henry Trotter, a Ph.D. student of African history at Yale University. I hail from Camarillo, California (USA), but have been living in Africa for 8 of the last 13 years. This web site shares some aspects my life, relationships, travels, scholarship, and publications that have made the journey so gratifying to this point.

Click on any heading above to take a scroll through my bio; meet some of my friends and family and my wonderful wife; visit some of the places I've recently traveled to in Africa, Asia, and the high seas; peruse what occupies my scholarly attention; and peek at some of the publications that I've recently put forth; and contact me.

This is a celebration of the people and places that have made me who I am. It is primarily a visual site with lots of photos. So sit back, put on some music and take a journey with me.

Enjoy!
