Gillian Lee- Fong- Farris '99 ---- Selected Bibliography
(Picture downloaded from http://www.gillianleefongfarris.com/ 3/4/08)
To celebrate the publication of her debut novel Tembe, novelist and Agnes Scott College alumna, Gillian Lee - Fong - Farris '99, will read from her work as part of Agnes Scott 2008 Spring Writers' Festival.
Her book celebrates a multi-culturalism that Lee-Fong-Farris herself embodies. A native of Jamaica, she draws on her own personal connection to Jamaican culture and the liminal spaces of identity to explore the lasting implications and influences of the Maroons of Jamaica. She has also worked extensively with refugee and underserved communites as both a teacher and mentor.
In conjunction with the public reading, we have compiled a bibliography of selected resources by and about the author and the Maroon tribe of Jamaica.
