The Canadian Association of African Studies is pleased to announce

The date of the 1996 Annual Conference of CAAS is 1-5 May, 1996.
It will be held parallel to the film festival <<Vues d`Afrique>>, which

conferences, papers and panels on any other important features of
African life -whether of historical or contemporary interest- will also
be welcomed.
A more formal announcement of this conference and call for papers and
