CALL FOR PAPERS: 8th Caribbean Symposium on Genealogy and History
The Anguilla Genealogical Society and the Anguilla Archaeological & Historical Society invite you to submit an abstract of a paper for presentation at the 8th Caribbean Symposium on Genealogy and History to be held on Oct. 12-13 in Anguilla, British Caribbean.
The Symposium’s theme, “Diaspora: Journeys, Research, and Reparations,” encompasses the multifaceted experiences of persons dispersed from their homelands. In the Caribbean context, diaspora can be considered both in terms of the peoples “from whence we came,” be it Africa, Europe, Asia, or elsewhere, and the people born out of Caribbean ancestry who have settled elsewhere.
