CFP: Special Session, Am. Indians & Appalachia (3/15; MLA 2000)
[Gardner, Susan] At the ASAIL/DAIL business meetings at MLA '99, a special
session on Am. Indian writers and Appalachia was suggested, and I've agreed
to coordinate the proposal to MLA. Whether they remained, emigrated
voluntarily, were "removed" in the 1830s or relocated later, generations of
American Indian writers have recreated their original homelands. Anthologies
of American literature, however, have frequently created the impression that
there are no contemporary American Indian writers in the Appalachian region,
nor are the historical writings by Indian authors generally well known.
Please send proposals by March 15 to Susan Gardner at the contact details
below, or to GrSsn@aol.com. Many thanks!
