Coming up on 28 October, The Society of Antiquaries of London is hosting the conference Caribbean Literature in English – Writing Back and Writing. The main focus of this conference will be on ‘writing back’, or how Caribbean literature engages with ideas of European literary canonicity: participating in, contesting, overturning and resisting. The programme ranges broadly to include both established and more innovative and contemporary texts and explores issues of postcolonialism, hybridity, reception, language and orality, gender, nationhood and identity.
