Afro-Asian Literature: An Overview

Afro-Asian Literature mirrors not only the customs and traditions of African and Asian countries but also their philosophy of life which on the whole are deeply and predominantly contemplative and hauntingly sweet. Afro-Asian Literature is the reflection of the storm and the stress of developing nations seeking a place under the sun which every student must understand so he may know how this literature affects the history and culture of a nation. 

In a simpler thought, Afro-asian literature refers to the literary output of the various countries and cultures in Africa and Asia. This includes their oral traditions and from the first to the contemporary written and/or published prose and poetry.  

                                                       

As part of the high school curriculum in the Philippines, Afro Asian Literature is taught specifically to sophomores. I assume including the public schools, but for sure the privileged students have this and are using Gems in Afro-Asian Literature textbook. Asian Literature alone is diverse and vibrant. Add to that the splendor of African Literature, and you get enriching Afro Asian Literature.
