> Dear Gemma
>
> The Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library will be hosting our Summer Scholars seminar series of free lunchtime talks in July and August.
>
> Please could you let your Society for Caribbean Studies members know about the series and especially our first event which I believe will be of particular interest:
>
Friday 17 July, 12.30-14.00 Bronte
> Room, British Library Conference Centre
>
> Joseph Zobel, French Caribbean author
>
> Louise Hardwick discusses her Arts and Humanities Research Council Fellowship working on the first study of Martinican author Joseph Zobel. Famous for his childhood memoir La Rue Cases-Nègres (1950) which is studied throughout the world and was adapted into the film Black Shack Alley by Euzhan Palcy in 1983, Zobel is a canonical Caribbean author. Yet in 2015, the centenary of his birth, much of his work still remains unknown. Louise’s research is uncovering Zobel’s neglected wider body of work and demonstrating how it makes an important contribution to our understanding of Négritude, colonialism and post-slavery Martinique. Working in partnership with schools, libraries and museums in Martinique, and with the British Library, Louise aims to change current Francophone and Anglophone perceptions of this important author (project blog: www.josephzobel.wordpress.com<http://www.josephzobel.wordpress.com/<http://www.josephzobel.wordpress.com%3chttp:/www.josephzobel.wordpress.com/>>).
>
> Louise Hardwick is Senior Lecturer in French at the University of Birmingham. She has published widely in English and in French on authors from Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti, including the Haitian diaspora in Canada. Her book Childhood, Autobiography and the Francophone Caribbean (Liverpool University Press, 2013) examines how leading Francophone Caribbean authors have established a tradition of postcolonial childhood narratives which mobilize childhood in as much a politically as an aesthetically subversive manner. Her recent work on postcolonial biopolitics (2012-2014) was funded through an EU/FP7 Marie Curie award, and her current project on Joseph Zobel is funded by an AHRC Early Career Leadership Fellowship (2014-2016).

> Also speaking with Dr Hardwick will be Dr Sally Hadden (Western Michigan University) who will discuss loyalist lawyers in exile from Revolutionary America.
