Dear all:
It was this Monday, this week, at dinner with Fred Cooper, Mike Gomez, Anthonia Appiah, Bisola Falola, Abosede George and three others that I brought out the name of Kwasi Konadu, my pet talk, that he must move out of his school in New York. He told me how family reasons took him there. I once went to my school that I can vacate my History Endowment for him. But he later told me that moving to Texas will affect his family. I contacted Moses Ochonu and several others that we owe Kwasi a collective agenda that he should occupy a Chair. Many moves behind his back, and none worked out.
God's time, they say, is the best. He will be joining the faculty at Colgate University as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Endowed Chair in History and Africana Studies in the fall.
All predictions about our future are coming to pass. Bonny Ibawoh will bring us a big news as well. We brought him to Austin hoping that something will eventually work out.
I am addicted to celebrating African scholars. This has become a passion. I will write about them, and let the world knows about their accomplishments.
Kwasi is not just one of our very best, but among the best historians in the world. He is ten times better than me in intellectual sophistication, in language, in the grandiosity of his narratives. His ability at grand breaking imaginations is difficult to match. His forthcoming book with Duke University Press, Our Own Way in This Part of the World, is pathbreaking, innovative and magisterial.
If you have not read him, start with his The Akan Diaspora in the Americas, and you will enter the mind of a first-rate scholar.
I will say more.
Kwasi, this is closer to the beginning of your larger achievements—you are not even yet in the middle.
