Extractions: African Literature Association 29th Annual Meeting ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT March 19-23, 2003 Of Lighthouses and Libraries: History ReLit Keynote speaker: Edward W. Said The ALA has chosen Alexandria, Egypt, as the site for the 2003 conference to participate in the events of the inaugural year of the new library Bibliotheca Alexandrina. This new monument to learning serves both as a look back through history to the ancient storehouse of knowledge on the coast of Africa and forward to Africa's role in preserving, constructing, and revising history for future generations. The year 2003 also marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of Edward Said's Orientalism, a text that has significantly contributed to our understanding of the constructed histories of African cultures and to the postcolonial scholarship of the last generation. "Of Lighthouses and Libraries: History ReLit," the conference theme, is intended to bring together the lighthouse and the library as symbols of the preservation and illumination of knowledge. It also refers to the significance of the siteAlexandria: home of Pharos, the Lighthouse (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world) and the Library (both the ancient and the new). Papers and panels on all aspects of African literature are invited, but a particular focus on the conference themes and historical perspective is encouraged. Following are some suggested topics: o The role of history in determining the movement of ideas between Africa and the West. o The role of African literatures in the preservation and the construction of knowledge/culturepast and future. o Women's quests in African literatures. o After Orientalism: the contributions of postcolonial writing to the construction and/or illumination of knowledge. o Interdisciplinary approaches in postcolonial studies. o Transnational cultural study of literature from the African continent and elsewhere. o Libraries as resources in the 21st century. o The Bibliotheca AlexandrinaPast and Present o The Mediterranean coast of Africa as the cradle of mystical, spiritual, and religious knowledge. o Heritage, history, memory, memoirs, and autobiography. o Orature as historical record.

Extractions: Objections may well be raised about the arrangement of this list. I originally wanted it to be a reading list, but I have since linked the names of several authors to their own pages so that a bit deeper coverage might be possible. These links occur at the first appearance of an author on the list. Some links have already been made in anticipation of individual files to come, and I am working as hard as I can on these and others while teaching a full load. I shall be as grateful for suggestions as I am for your patience. Thanks in advance for both.
