Efuru @
50: Call for papers
By Japhet Alakam
The Flora Nwapa Foundation invites
abstracts for 15 – 20 minute presentations during the National Conference to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of EFURU under the theme; EFURU@50; A
Celebration of Flora Nwapa and African Women Literature. The conference will be
held at Abuja, Enugu, Lagos and Maiduguri between 29th November – 11th December
2016. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 30th September, 2016. The
conference is to celebrate the 50th anniversary of EFURU, the book that
heralded the birth of Modern African Women Literature. It will be a platform
for writers, scholars, literary critics and other interested parties to engage,
rethink and propose possible new directions for African Women Literature, which
has been defined (and undefined) by different agencies at different moments. It
will also answer questions about women’s contribution to the African
literature, the Diaspora’s influence on African literature, and the extent to
which the same has been influenced by the current global trends. The abstracts
should not exceed 200 words, on any of the sub-themes. Deadline for submission
of abstracts is 30th September 2016. All abstracts should be submitted
electronically to: info@efuru50.com
