Antillean Literature

Antillean literature encompasses written works from the Caribbean islands known as the Antilles, including places like Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and others. It reflects the region's rich cultural diversity, history of colonization, slavery, and independence movements. Themes often explore identity, race, language, and social struggles, blending indigenous, African, European, and Asian influences. Writers use storytelling, poetry, and essays to express the unique experiences and voices of the Antillean people, contributing to both regional and global literary landscapes. This body of work offers insight into the complex history and vibrant cultures of the Caribbean.
