Wednesday April 10, 2013

Cabot Auditorium, Tufts University, 4:30-8:00PM

Panelists include Faith Smith, Donette Francis and Leah Rosenberg

With Readings by Angie Cruz and M. Nourbese Philip

Join the conversation concerning Carifesta’s 1976 landmark discussion of history in the Caribbean literary imaginary with Caribbean women writers and scholars, who will address how contemporary Caribbean writers and thinkers, female in particular, have continued to “quarrel with the past” but moved forward now to critically contend with colonialism’s afterlife in the region.
