One Love & Venceremos: Celebrating the Correspondence of Austin Clarke & Andrew Salkey (A Webinar with McMaster University and the British Library)
July 25, 2024 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time
Join McMaster University and the British Library on July 25 at 11:00 AM EDT for a special celebration that marks the 90th anniversary of the birth of award-winning Canadian writer, Austin Clarke. This talk will examine the long correspondence — and deep friendship — between two pivotal Caribbean diaspora writers; the Barbadian-born Austin Clarke who was a ground-breaking, incendiary voice in Canadian and Caribbean literature, and the Jamaican-rooted Andrew Salkey, who was an accomplished novelist and a central figure of Britain’s Caribbean diaspora.
Come hear scholars and archivists from McMaster University, home to Clarke’s papers, and the British Library, custodian of Salkey’s papers, as they explore and discuss this extraordinary documentary legacy.
