Quito Nicolaas publishes in Conference volume

Quito Nicolaas contributed with his essay entitled ‘Behind literary shadows: Literary development in Aruba from 1971 – 1996’ to the conference volume Leeuward Voices: Fresh perspectives on Papiamentu/o and the literatures and cultures of the ABC-Islands, Vol. 1.

In this essay he analysed the factors and reasons why the Aruban literature was developed in the shadow of Curacao’s literature.

The contributions to the volumes are updated versions of papers presented at the Eastern Caribbean Island Culture Conference held on the island of Curaçao in 2008. The ECICC 2008 call for papers invited researchers to present results of their work on the languages, literatures and cultures of the Eastern Caribbean and the Dutch Leeuward Islands Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao.
