Submission Deadline: October 14, 2006

MaComère, the Journal of the Association of Caribbean Women Writers and Scholars is accepting submissions for its special issue on Migrant Writing.

Essayists and reviewers are encouraged to address the works of Caribbean women writers and performers in both English and French Canada. Potential topics for this issue include but are not limited to postcolonial narratives and gendered perspectives that may embody rootlessness, migrancy, or hybridity; the diasporic experience of Caribbean peoples in North America, Europe, and Africa; the experience of transculturation; or the negotiation of Caribbean-Canadian identities.
