The indispensability of former West African people to the Caribbean culture

Más información sobre el libro

Caribbean literature often explores themes of identity, particularly the lack of regional or national identity. Edward Kamau Brathwaite, a prominent figure in this literary landscape, addresses the fragmented culture of descendants of West African slaves through his poetry. He seeks to heal cultural dislocation by reexamining the black diaspora's history, aiming to restore a sense of cultural wholeness and rectify issues related to historical and linguistic dispossession faced by these communities in the Caribbean.
