ANNOUNCEMENT:

This workshop will, bring together both junior and senior scholars, to explore the ways in which representations of Africa and the making of its diasporas are inscribed in public historical memory.  The meeting will discuss a range of work that assesses the forces which have shaped the production of history, the dissemination of historical representations, and their influence on shaping popular perceptions of Africa and its diasporas.

The proceedings from this workshop will be published in a collection to be edited by Drs. Audra A. Diptee and David V. Trotman.  The collection is contracted to be published by Africa World Press.
