| Call for Papers 92nd Annual Convention Charlotte, North Carolina October 3 - 7, 2007 From Slavery to Freedom: Africans in the Americas |
| Call for Papers 92nd Annual Conference Association for the Study of African American Life and History Charlotte, North Carolina October 3-7, 2007 “From Slavery to Freedom: Africans in the Americas” The Association for the Study of African American Life and History is soliciting papers for its 92nd Annual Conference. Since the theme focuses broadly on the experiences of Africans in the Americas “from slavery to freedom,” submissions are encouraged that treat the Atlantic slave trade, slavery, resistance, abolition movements, emancipation, and the development of “New World” communities in all parts of the African Diaspora. Individuals interested in submitting proposals should give particular thought to comparative perspectives on slavery and race. The theme will also allow for broad and varied discussions on reparations and the meaning of freedom and citizenship for Africans throughout the Americas. ASALH invites scholars from all disciplines to make presentations in Charlotte on African and African American life, history, thought, and culture from the Atlantic coast of West Africa to the Caribbean Islands, Latin America, and the United States. Preference will be given to session proposals that address the specific conference theme; other submissions, however, are invited and will be gladly accepted. ASALH supports and values all scholarship on peoples of African descent. ASALH will begin accepting proposals on October 31, 2006. The deadline for submissions will be May 31, 2007. All proposals must be submitted electronically to ASALH. For information on how to make electronic submissions, please visit www.asalh.org/92ndconvention.html Chair: David C. Dennard, East Carolina University Please direct all Program Questions to Dr. Dennard at dennardd@mail.ecu.edu ASALH accepts only electronic submissions. |
