Subject: Call for Papers
> Dear Sir or Madam,

> I tried to send this to [log in to unmask], but it got sent
back, perhaps because I am not registered. I am really keen, however, to
distribute the call for papers with your list and so wonder if you might
help me to do this.
>
> The call for papers is for a conference that I am planning here at the
University of Warwick (UK) and is attatched to this e-mail in a word
document. The conference title is: 'Rethinking the colonisers: British
colonial elites in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries'. It will be held
on Saturday, 1 June 2002 between 9:30 am and 5:00 pm.
>
> The ideas for the conference have come mainly from my PhD research on
Jamaican planters in the early-nineteenth century and I have received
funding and support by being awarded an HRC doctoral fellowship.
>
> The conference will seek to attract papers that consider the range,
variety and distinctiveness of British colonial elites at different times
and in different locales. In this way, I hope that it will be possible to
examine the ambiguity, discord and variegated effects of British colonialism
across this broad period.
>
> Professor Catherine Hall (of UCL, UK) has agreed to speak at the
conference and some interesting abstracts and suggestions for papers have
already been received.
>
> It strikes me that the scope and concerns of the conference are likely to
coincide with the research interests of some of the subscribers to the
Caribbean Studies list and I would therefore be extremely grateful if you
could circulate this message and the call for papers.

> I hope that you will be able to help.
