Prof. Sharfstein is member of the History faculty and Law School faculty at Vanderbilt, where his scholarship focuses on the legal histories of race in the United States. His most recent book Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard and the Nez Perce War details one of the most prominent struggles over indigenous sovereignty in the post-Civil War era, tracing the pursuit of hundreds of Nez Perce families across the American West as they tried to resist being forced onto reservations.
