[UPDATE] Western Crossroads: Literature, Social Justice, Environment
Western Literature Association Conference November 7-10, 2012 Lubbock Texas
Lubbock, TX is nicknamed "The Hub City" because it has historically been the crossroads of the vast, multicultural South Plains—home to Native peoples for 15,000 years, first dubbed the Llano Estacado (Staked Plains) by Coronado in 1540, and once referred to as the American Serengeti for its massive herds of buffalo, pronghorn, and deer.
