DESCRIPTION:A day long conference dedicated to the work of Maryse Condé.\n
 \nOn April 2\, 2024\, Guadeloupean Writer Maryse Condé (1934-2024) transi
 tioned away from this earth. Condé\, one of the most celebrated voices of
  Francophone literature\, emerged during her prolific writing career as th
 e unchallenged ambassador of the global black imagination. In her “pract
 ice of the diaspora\,” Condé’s engagement with Africa has been consis
 tent\, if sometimes fraught with controversies and misunderstandings\, but
  ultimately\, compassion and passion. “Maryse Condé: What Is Africa to 
 Me?” pays a critical tribute to this great writer\, critic\, and activis
 t. The workshop brings together this community of scholars in preparation 
 for the Special Issue of Research in African Literatures on Maryse Condé.
