Who Should Attend The conference is open to a wide range of interests, reflecting the reach of the conference across the spectrum of Caribbean literature, culture and identity. This conference will therefore be of interest to academics who are involved in exploring the complexities of Caribbean life in these areas. It will also be of interest to persons who have a vested interested in the dynamics of our mutual societies and cultures that are coping with the impacts of our common histories and struggles for personal and national self-actualisation. The dynamic of the effect of globalisation on our societies will be a key focus. The conference should accordingly appeal to persons investing in the areas of education, community development, literature and the arts, and all persons who love the Caribbean.
