Afro-Asian literature is a term for novels or writings such as short stories and poems written by people from mixed African-Arab ethnicity, or African-Asian ethnicity. In modern times, as a part of world literature, Afro-Asian literature is a separate segment of writing [in English] of experiences in Africa and Asia to further cultural understanding and world peace. Afro Asian literature mirrors not only the customs and traditions of African and Asian countries but also their philosophy of life which as a whole are deeply and predominantly contemplative and hauntingly sweet. This course is designed to acquaint students with canonical and marginal literary texts from specific regions of Africa, Asia and particular parts of the Third World. More than the geographical contexts, this course also emphasizes the historical, cultural, and eco-political conditions in which the texts are embedded to heighten students' appreciation of literary productions.
