Jonathan Lande studies the history of race, slavery, and the American Civil War, with particular attention to Black soldiers' experiences of military justice, imprisonment, and citizenship claims during and after the war. His work draws on court-martial records and legal documents to examine how formerly enslaved people fought for freedom and rights through the military and legal systems. He also writes book reviews connecting this history to later movements such as Black Lives Matter.
Publication output has grown markedly over the past decade, rising from about one item per year in 2017-2019 to a peak of seven in 2024, despite a gap in 2023.
