Few scholars of the Greater Caribbean have been more influential than Richard and Sally Price, whose best-known work began among the Saamaka Maroons of Suriname in the late 1960s and continues today, from Paris to Pernambuco. With dozens of publications spanning history, art history, anthropology, fiction, and musuem studies, plus a lifetime of pro-maroon political and legal activism, it is a great honor for us to host and celebrate the Prices with an event we're calling PriceFest. Please join us on Friday 18 April (all day) and also Saturday morning 19 April for tributes, scholarship, and memory-making, a celebration of the scholarly life lived to the fullest - times two!
