Dear Members,
I am an American Ph.D. student from Miami University of Ohio. I am in the UK (mostly London, but will travel) for 3 weeks (30 Sept-19 Oct) doing research for my dissertation. I am interested in 19th c. representations of Creole women (mixed race or not) in British literature and culture. I am also interested in the way Creole women represent themselves. I would love suggestions from the list of archives, collections, or museums to visit - I'd also love to meet with anyone interested in or working on similar topics. I used my first week here to read at the British Library, but I think I've done about all I can do there for now.
Thank you!
Melisa Summy

Members of SCS may be interested in a season of events marking the bicentennial of slavery, the 60th anniversary of independence and partition of the Indian subcontinent, and the 50th anniversary of Ghanaian independence. All events are to be held at the Drum theatre, 144 Potters Lane, Aston, Birmingham B6 4UU. Tel: 0121 333 2444. The first performance, on Thursday 11th October, is a dance piece by 'H' Patten, called 'Cotton Tree Passage', which depicts the spiritual journey from Africa, through the transatlantic slave trade to the Caribbean and the UK. Using imagery, contemporary African, Caribbean and urban dance fused with African hip-life and Jamaican dancehall music, this is heart-stopping, jaw-dropping dance theatre not to be missed. For enquiries, contact the Drum.
