War and the Caribbean Conference - 20th April 2012
Join us for this one-day conference examining the impact of European settlement and war on the Carribean.
This conference will consider the causes and consequences of general, and internal, wars in the region during the colonial period and how they highlight the changing nature of its economic and strategic importance in the world order.
War has been an important engine of economic, social, and cultural change in the Caribbean since the first arrival of Europeans. Violence has shaped, and re-shaped, imperial boundaries to change the rules of the region’s economic game and its notions of citizenship, gender, and race.
The conference will include the following speakers:
- Henrice Altink (University of York)
- Camillia Cowling (University of Edinburgh)
- Tom Devine (University of Edinburgh)
- Silvia Marzagalli (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis)
- Philip Morgan (John Hopkins University and Oxford)
- Andrew Wells (University of Edinburgh)
- Nuala Zahedieh (University of Edinburgh)
- Anya Zilberstein (Concordia University)
