Dutchman
Written by Amiri Baraka STARRING MATTHEW MURRELL & AMANDA HOYOS
An emotionally charged and highly symbolic version of the Adam and Eve story. The explosive play which exposed that the USA is the melting pot where nothing ever melted. A ferociously divided nation, where till today people confuse sex with love and racial hatred with power… and
Sizwe Banzi is DeaD
Written by Athol Fugard, John Kani & Winston Shona Directed by Esiaba Irobi STARRING SHAWN GREEN & KARLOS COBHAM

Canadian Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS)- June 4-7, 2008
The Canadian Association for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS) will hosts its 2008 Congress in Vancouver, BC,
under the theme “At the Crossroads of Empire”
Latin America and the Caribbean have been profoundly shaped by the rise and fall of Empires, from pre-Columbian civilizations to European expansionism and on to US strategies for hemispheric supremacy. Yet the region has also been a crucial site for the articulation of movements of resistance to imperial projects. The global political fields of the early 21st century are now posing new, challenging questions about the social, cultural, and political dimensions of such processes on the continent. The 2008 CALACS conference to be held in Vancouver convokes scholars from across the social sciences and the humanities as well as activists and artists to offer a fresh look at the influence of imperial schemes on Latin America and the Caribbean and at the range of social movements and government projects that contest them. In addition, the conference welcomes submissions related to other themes involving Latin America and the Caribbean.
To download individual and panel proposal forms, see the CALACS 2008 website at:

For information about CALACS, see http://www.can-latam.org/

- "Effective Management Strategies for Developing Countries" - November 20-21, 2008
The University of the West Indies, Department of Management Studies' 3rd Annual International Management Conference 2008.
This year's exciting and provocative theme is "Effective Management Strategies for Developing Countries". This is a topic of relevance to people from countries around the world. More and more, developing world companies are moving into developed countries, and those from developed countries are seeking opportunities in developing ones. It is timely for a conference that addresses the specifics of effective management in developing countries, and how this is similar to, or different from, management elsewhere.
Researchers and practitioners will find the conference papers and presentations provide insights drawn from academic research as well as practical experience. We believe all participants will benefit from these insights. This conference will move forward our understanding of effective management in developing countries.
The conference hopes to promote contributions to the broad theme from any discipline(s) and/or functional area(s) of management relating to the following topics:
. Strategic Planning and Corporate Governance
. Effective Leadership in a Changing Environment
. Creativity and Innovation
. Entrepreneurship (including issues in Marketing, Accounting, and Budgeting)
. Organisational Culture and Human Resource Management
. Project Management and Evaluation
. International Business Planning and Management
. Globalization and Economic Outlook
. Information Technology for the Business Environment
