We remain very grateful to all our members who have continued to support the ACLA during the global pandemic. Your generosity has allowed us, in turn, to support our membership at a time that has underscored the precarity of our work as we see humanities department budgets slashed and faculty furloughed or dismissed. It is in challenging times like this that one might question: what is the role of a learned society? Over the past year, we’ve seen the debilitating effects of racism and xenophobia that have rocked the streets of Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago, and beyond. This is a time for advancing comparative and cross-cultural study, for scrutinizing systems of power, and for challenging one another to think critically about our own cultural contexts and works. In this sense it is essential for societies like ours to persist and provide a space for scholars of all professional levels to meet and engage with one another. Towards this end, we cut registration fees in half this year to allow wider participation. We are also proud to announce that we have offered an unprecedented number of registration waivers to contingent faculty and graduate students with over 160 scholars adding an important perspective that might, otherwise, may not have been heard. I extend a warm invitation to you all as we welcome two creative writers to our Opening Ceremony on Thursday, April 8th (6:00 - 8:00pm CDT) whose works explore borders, bodies, gender and translation: Natalie Diaz and Cristina Rivera Garza. We continue to offer popular pre-conference events that are of particular interest to graduate students and early career scholars: a workshop on “Publishing Your First or Second Book” organized by the ACLA Publishing Committee featuring senior press editors; a workshop on “Publishing Your First Article” sponsored by the ADPCL; a workshop interrogating “The (Comparative Literature) Dissertation in Theory and Practice” organized by the ACLA Graduate Student Committee; and finally a workshop organized by the National Endowment for the Humanities on “Writing Successful NEH Grants for Faculty and Independent Scholars”. These concurrent workshops will take place on Thursday, April 8th (4:00 - 5:45pm CDT). On Friday, April 9th (12:15 - 1:45pm CDT), we will hold a lunchtime plenary where ACLA President Emeritus Waïl S. Hassan will present on “Geopolitics of Comparison: World Literature avant la lettre”. In the afternoon, we’ve scheduled a “Virtual Roundtable on Ethics of Graduate Advising” organized by our Graduate Student representatives. A plenary planned for Friday, April 9th (6:00-7:30pm CDT) will attend to “The Poetics of Protest, from Africa to Minneapolis,” featuring a conversation between Calvin Warren and R. A. Judy. In place of a keynote this year, we have organized a keynote panel with scholars who have published their first book which we expect will stimulate lively discussion on the topic of “Comparative Studies and the Politics, Logics and the Rhetoric of The New Distribution” (Saturday, April 10th, 12:15 - 1:45pm CDT). I would also draw your 4 ACLA 2021 attention to the ACLA Vice Presidential Panel “Geopolitics of Comparison around the World” (organized by ACLA Vice President Shu-mei Shih and ACLA President Emeritus Waïl S. Hassan) that will meet on April 9th, April 10th, and April 11th from 8:30am - 10:15am CDT. Finally, I sincerely hope that many of you will join me as we acknowledge the accomplishments of this year’s ACLA prize winners during the Presidential Address & Awards Ceremony planned for Saturday, April 10th, 6:00 - 7:30pm CDT. Each year our conference is a joint effort from the ACLA Board, our prize committees, dedicated volunteers, and our staff. Special thanks are due to Nicoletta Pireddu for overseeing the review of thousands of submissions to the conference as Program Committee Chair and Dina Al-Kassim who began her tenure as our new Secretary- Treasurer just this past year. I would also like to acknowledge our Chief Administrative Officer, Monica Felix, as well as our latest addition to the team, Brigid Kennedy, whose efforts were essential to pivoting to our virtual platform this year and overseeing a variety of conference planning logistics. I also thank the academic presses who have adapted to our virtual environment to participate in our Book Exhibit. I look forward to the many fascinating panels scheduled for this year’s conference and will count the days until next year’s meeting when we will meet in person again.

To reduce environmental impacts, researchers propose the use of dyes from natural sources. The purpose of using these is to impart new attributes to textiles without compromising on environmental sustainability. The attributes given to the textile can be color and/or other characteristics.

    University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign www.history.illinois.edu Spring 2020 First-Generation Historians Leaving a Mark: Yasmeen Ragab, Carmen Gutierrez, Johnna Jones, Jason Smith PAGE 2 Letter from the Chair fter twenty years in Champaign-Urbana and sixteen years as a faculty member, I became interim chair of the department in August 2019. I feel so lucky to lead Asuch an amazing group of scholars—faculty, graduate students, and undergradu- ate majors—for the next two years. I am grateful to Clare Crowston for her advice and wise counsel throughout the summer as we prepared for the transition. My faculty joins me in wishing her all the best for a productive and restorative sabbatical this year and in the new position she’ll assume in August 2020 as Associate Dean for the Humanities and Interdisci- plinary Programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The dedicated staff in 309 Gregory Hall provide the support we all need to keep the department running smoothly, attending to every detail. I have relied on their expertise, experience, and professionalism as I have learned the job, and I am grateful to each of them. For the past eighteen years, Tom Bedwell, our business manager, has ensured the successful running of all aspects of departmental operations. His total commitment, professionalism, and skill as a financial manager are matched by his unflagging dedication to the welfare of each and every faculty member, student, and staff. Dawn Voyles assists Tom working effi- ciently to reserve flights for faculty, pay honoraria to visiting scholars, and process receipts.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Inger S. B. Brodey Todd Ramón Ochoa Marsha S. Collins Tanya L. Shields Madeline G. Levine © 2016 Donato Fhunsu ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Donato Fhunsu: The Kongo Rule: The Palo Monte Mayombe Wisdom Society (Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe) A Book by Lydia Cabrera An English Translation from the Spanish (Under the direction of Inger S. B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

    The Arabic Novel ﺔ%اوﺮﻟا ﺔ+*(ﻌﻟا ﺔ%اوﺮﻟا PROF. HISHAM MATAR / [email protected] She is free to do what she wants, and free not to do it. Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi Prose came before poetry. In the beginning, there was prose. The Tongue of Adam by Abdelfattah Kilito He who has missed out on translation knows not what travail is: None but the warrior is scorched by the fire of war! I find a thousand notion for which there is none akin Among us, and a thousand with none appropriate; And a thousand terms with no equivalent.

HISHAM MATAR / [email protected] Overview Whether seen as a chronicle of social life, a hothouse of ideas and philosophical contemplation, a space for literary invention and the articulation of the quiet as well as the loud moments of existence, the novel is, in its various shapes and forms, a modern phenomenon. Perhaps this is partly why for long time there persisted, both in the minds of some Western and Arabic readers, the notion that the genre is a European invention, and therefore, the Arabic novel in particular, an act of literary mimicry. This is not only erroneous, but it also misses what is actually fascinating about the story of the novel in Arabic. It is a story that tells of a deep engagement with a great literary tradition as well as a commitment to invention.
