Portuguese Lecture Series: The Eruption of Insular Identities, with Brianna Medeiros

Despite vast differences in the realities in the two regions in terms of race and politics, writers in the Azores and Cape Verde developed two bodies of literature with striking similarities. Join scholar Brianna Medeiros as she explains how these similarities are due in part to the archipelagos' insularity. Her recent book, The Eruption of Insular Identities: A Comparative Study of Azorean and Cape Verdean Prose, is the first extensive study comparing the literatures of the two archipelagoes. This talk is part of the Whaling Museum's VIRTUAL Portuguese Lecture Series and is FREE to attend, but advance registration is required. REGISTER at http://ow.ly/hHuC50Gdee7.
