For details on the conference, please go to: http://www.georgetown.edu/crossroads/AmericanStudiesAssn/annualmeeting/index.htm The general theme for the conference is "Violence and Belonging." Kerry's paper will examine follies and observation towers as part of the tourist experience at nineteenth-century rural cemeteries. Rachel's paper will discuss African signs and symbols in early African American funerary arts, and in the folk art of William Edmundson, 1930's African American burial monument sculptor. We are looking for one more paper to round out the panel, as well as a chair/commentator. Please send proposals by Jan. 15, 2003 to carsokd@jmu.edu or to: Kerry Dean Carso School of Art & Art History James Madison University MSC 7101, Duke Hall Harrisonburg, VA 22807 Kerry Dean Carso & Rachel Malcolm-Woods <carsokd@jmu.edu>
