Title: Call for Papers: Annual Conference of the African Literature Association
Body: From http://claw.cofc.edu/ala/conference.html The 39th annual conference of the African Literature Association will take place in Charleston, South Carolina, March 20-24, 2013. The ALA's 39th annual conference, "Literature, Liberation, and the Law," seeks papers that explore the manner and extent to which writing-whether in statute books or in literature-can bring about liberation. Invoking the conference's three key terms-literature, liberation and law-we encourage scholars to cross disciplinary boundaries in engaged and thoughtful ways as they reflect on how the legal, the political, and the literary are intertwined. View the full call for papers at http://claw.cofc.edu/ala/conference.html# Submissions are due by November 30, 2012.
