Postcolonial African, Caribbean and Pacific Literature

Literature of Sub-Saharan Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific written in the shared frame postcolonial literary study usually gives these regions together, plus the Francophone Negritude poets whose subject and standpoint is this tradition even though their language is French. Belongs here: the founding West and Southern African novelists in English, the Caribbean Negritude poets, and a Pacific Islander author writing in English about colonization and identity. Does not belong here: a North African Arabic-language author, kept under Middle Eastern and Persian literature by language and literary tradition instead.
