Proposals invited for a special session at MLA 2007 on 'The (U.S.)
South in Hemispheric and Transatlantic Contexts, 1600-1865.' Focusing

feature work on subjects ranging from language and writing in early
contact zones to developing ideas of ethnicity, race, and nation in
the region(s) now included in the U.S. South. Comparatist work
treating larger 'southern' regions of which the U.S. South was a part
also welcome.

Please send 250-word proposals by March 20th to Barbara Ladd,
