Matt Schaffer collection, 1969-1992 (bulk 1969-1970).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173863166

The collection consists of the papers of Matt Schaffer from 1969-1970. The papers include original audiotape interviews conducted by Matt Schaffer in 1969-1970 with a number of poets, dramatists, and novelists associated with the cultural life of Dakar, Senegal. Among those represented are the following Senegalese, Martinique, French Guyanese, and Haitian writers: Ibrahima Ba, Moctar Bow, Aime Cesaire, Gerard Chenet, Leon-Gontran Damas, Amadou Cisse Dia, Lamine Diakhate, Bertine Juminer, Doura Mane, Felix Morisseau-Leroy, Eunice N'Daye, Ousmane Sembene, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Maurice Senghor, Ousman Soce, Paulin Vieyra, and Joseph Zobel. Also present is a single audiotape interview with the French novelist Jean-Paul Sartre. A translation by Schaffer of an interview with Annette Mbaye d'Erneville is included, although the actual interview is not included in the collection. These interviews were conducted in French and, with the exception of the N'Daye and Sartre tapes, were roughly transcribed by Matt Schaffer. In 2005, a Robert W. Woodruff Library Fellow transcribed and translated all the interviews. In addition, the collection also includes transcripts of a number of talks delivered at the All-African Cultural Festival held in Algiers in 1969, as well as a small amount of related printed material. The collection also includes a small collection of ephemera published by the Georgia printer William Haynes at the Ashantilly Press.
