Kendra R. Parker is a noted scholar and author specializing in African American literature, particularly focusing on the representation of black female vampires. Her works, such as "Black Female Vampires in African American Women’s Novels, 1977–2011: She Bites Back," have shed light on the intersections of race, gender, and genre in literature.
