Administered by the African Section of the African and Middle Eastern Division, the Conversations with African Poets and Writers series presents interviews with current African diaspora writers committed to the literature of continental and diasporic Africa and readings from their written works. Since 2008, AMED has collaborated with key stakeholders such as the Africa Society, the Center for African Studies at Howard University, and/or the Georgetown University to host some 30 conversations programs. Through this series, AMED has not only introduced the Library's rich resources on African studies to a broad but targeted audience, but has also collected a treasure trove of archives of interviews with leading thinkers and writers in this subject field. Available for online public viewing, this archive will prove to be invaluable primary sources for those who conduct African studies and those who interested in African literature.
