PREFACE
James Baldwin began his formal academic connection with the five-college community (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, Smith Colleges, and the University of Massachusetts) as a Five College Professor of Literature in 198384, teaching at Hampshire, Smith, and the University. This appointment was to last three years; thereafter he became a member of the W.E.B. DuBois Department of Afro-American Studies and a Distinguished Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities at the University of Massachusetts. He was highly satisfied with the latter arrangement. In addition to his pleasure in his colleagues and students his schedule allowed him to spend half his time at his home in France.
Chinua Achebe taught at the University of Massachusetts in the English and Afro-American Studies Departments from 19721974, shortly after the Biafran War. After another year of teaching at the University of Connecticut he returned to Nigeria as a Professor of Literature at his old university at Nsukka in 1976, where he remained until his retirement in 1983. He has since taught at U.C.L.A. and in Canada, and enjoys Emeritus status at Nsukka. He was awarded a Fulbright Professorship at the University of Massachusetts for the 198788 academic year, at the invitation of the Afro-American Studies Department and the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities.
Understandably, the prospect of these two outstanding writers and major cultural figures teaching in the same place, in the same yearat our University, in factengendered considerable excitement, especially among those concerned centrally with black life and culture in our time. A group of five-college faculty members involved with black literary studies began to meet at the Institute to plan a conference in the Spring of 1988 that would revolve around Achebe and Baldwin: one the prototypical writer of Africaindeed, it would not be hyperbole to call him the father of modern African literaturethe other the preeminent living embodiment of the literature of the Black Diaspora.
