The Beniba Slavery Centre invites you to the launching of LOST AND FOUND: A-Z OF NEGLECTED WRITERS OF THE ANGLOPHONE CARIBBEAN

Kelvin Hall Room G59 LT

ABOUT LOST &amp; FOUNDLost and Found makes a major contribution to providing a fuller picture of the Caribbean’s rich literary history. It both restores our knowledge of writers whose lives and work have slipped out of view while heralding others whose work has never been properly recognised. Offering a fascinating insight into the lives and writings of these ‘lost’ writers, this A-Z also provides future researchers with a comprehensive bibliography of their forgotten works.An inspiring reclaiming of writers, especially women, from Antigua, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad: those who were in the wrong place at the wrong time; those disregarded by the establishment; those whose personal or professional lives stole their writing lives; those who suffered discrimination; those who wrote about the “wrong” things. All are celebrated in this meticulously researched and compiled book published by Papillote Press.AUTHORAlison Donnell is Head of the School of Humanities and Professor of Modern Literatures in English at the University of Bristol. Her recent works reflect her ongoing commitment to exploring and expanding literary histories, including a special double issue of Caribbean Quarterly on Caribbean Literary Archives and her General Editorship of Caribbean Literature in Transition, 1800-2020 (3 volumes) (2021) with Cambridge University Press. Her latest monograph Creolized Sexualities: Undoing Heteronormativity in the literary imagination of the Anglo-Caribbean was published in Rutgers’ Critical Caribbean Series in 2022. Her edited A-Z of Neglected Caribbean Writers has been published with Papillote Press.
