‘One Love?’ Examining Contemporary Caribbean Literatures and Cultures

Panel CFP for Northeast Modern Language Association
46th Annual Convention
Toronto, Ontario
April 30-May 3, 2015

Abstract Deadline: 30 September 2014; electronic submission via NeMLA site

For this panel, we invite participants to explore the rich cultural production of Caribbean artists (writers, musicians, sculptors, photographers, filmmakers, dancers, etc.) of the last hundred years. How are we defining the Caribbean in the twenty-first century? How are we in conversation with each other? How do the arts portend the future of the region? We recognize ‘Caribbean’ to include the attendant international diasporas and welcome abstracts in all of the national languages spoken there.
