Middle Passages: Histories and Poetics

Social Text Collective

The Middle Passage has long been a trope for unspeakable terror. But a recent generation of scholars has been keen on discerning how the Middle Passage as social experience defined lives, histories and contemporary social selves. This event brings together some of the most prominent writers on the subject to present papers and participate in discussion. May 6-7, 2010 at the Graduate Center, CUNY. 365 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
