ELSA GOVEIA MEMORIAL LECTURES

Each year since 1985 the Department has sponsored special lectures in honour of the late Elsa Goveia, the first Professor of West Indian History in the University .

These lectures are regularly published and can be purchased at the Department's office. The 2006 lecture was delivered by Professor Nigel Bolland, Lecturer from University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus, on “Caribbean Culture and Iden- tities”. Elsa Goveia Lectures are also delivered at Cave Hill.

GENERAL HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN

In the 1960s a project was inaugurated for the publication of a multivolume history of the Caribbean edited by Elsa Goveia, Douglas Hall and Roy Augier. Several chapters were published: C.J. Bartlett's A New Balance of Power, Elsa Goveia on The West Indian Slave Laws, K.O. Laurence on Immigration into the West Indies in the 19 th Century, and Richard Sheridan's two essays on the development of planta- tions in the eighteenth century.

This project has been replaced by the larger UNESCO General History of the Caribbean. Volumes I, II, III, V and VI are already published and volume IV is presently in preparation.
