41st Anniversary Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
April 7-11, 2010
Montreal, Quebec - Hilton Bonaventure
This panel seeks papers which consider the representation of law, rights, and justice in African-American women’s literature. How have African-American women writers critically engaged the legal system and/or portrayed American legal discourse? Topics include, but are certainly not limited to: slavery, the civil rights movement, immigration, suffrage, lynching, and the prison-industrial complex. Please send a 1-page abstract and a brief bio as Word or PDF attachments to Courtney D. Marshall, cdj@ucla.edu, with “NEMLA” in the subject line.
Deadline: September 30, 2009
