What are the genres of afro-Asian literature?

Answer 1

The importance comes from the fact that Afro-Asian literature is a sign of new and modern times. These times include literature from all kinds of people, from all places on Earth. These days, we are able to enjoy literature from all over the worldthanks to the internet and translation services. You really can enjoy everything that the world has to offer without having to do all that much at all. But what exactly is Afro-Asian literature?

Afro-Asian literature is a modern term that is used for novels, or other kinds of writings like papers and poems, that are written by individuals from mixed ethnicity(African-arab ethnicity or African-asian ethnicity) and mixed cultures. The term is relatively unknown, but the content that it stands for is becoming increasingly popular in the world.

In more recent terms, however, Afro-Asian literature is a term for a specific part of world literature that is becoming commonplace in libraries, book stores and onlinebook stores. Afro-Asian literature is a completely separate segment of works and writings of experiences that were had both in Africa and Asia.

So of course, the other importance is that this writing is able to teach people and allow people to learn about different experiences and cultures from all over the world. Instead of just watching documentaries and reading articles on Wikipedia, people are now easily able to read first-hand accounts about the things that happen in these countries, and what interesting historical accounts have been made in the past.

So if you're looking to read this kind of literature, as mentioned, you will simply need to go to a library, book store or online book store and search for Afro-Asianliterature. If your library doesn't have any, which is possible, then they should be able to just order it in for you and you will be able to receive it in a matter of weeks.

Afro-Asian or Blasian is a moniker used to refer to a person of mixed Black and Asian (specifically East or Southeast Asian) ancestry.

Latin AmericaIn Latin America, significant numbers of Chinese first started arriving in the mid 19th century as part of the Coolie slave trade. By the mid 20th century, Cuba and Peru had the largest Chinese populations. By the end of WWII, there were considerable high numbers of Latin American descended from Chinese fathers and local women. One of the most famous of these is the Chinese-Afro-Cuban artist Wifredo Lam, known as the Cuban Picasso. There are also small numbers of Latin American residents of Asian and African descent in countries like Puerto Rico, Haiti and Dominican Republic. MadagascarThe majority of the population of Madagascar is primarily a mixture in varying degrees of Austronesian and Bantu settlers from Southeast Asia (Borneo) and East Africa (primarily Mozambique), respectively. Years of intermarriages created the Malagasy people, who primarily speak Malagasy, an Austronesian language with Bantu influences. South AfricaThe Cape Coloured population descend from indigenous Khoisan and Xhosa peoples; European immigrants; and Malagasy, Ceylonese and South-East Asian (primarily Indonesian) laborers and slaves brought by the Dutch from the mid-17th Century to the late 18th Century. The majority of Coloureds, particularly in the Western Cape and Northern Cape, speak Afrikaans as a first language, while those in other parts of South Africa tend to speak English as well. Coloureds with Javanese or other Indonesian ancestry may often be regarded as Cape Malay and are primarily Muslims, while the majority of Coloureds are Christian (generally Protestant) or agnostic. Due to similar social adversities experienced under the Apartheid regime from the late 1940s to the late1980s, Coloured and Indigenous South African communities generally fall under the Black social category when it comes to employment and affirmative action policies. Southeast AsiaDuring the Vietnam War, African-American servicemen had children with local Vietnamese women. Some of these children were abandoned by the Vietnamese family, or sent to orphanages. Many orphans and children were airlifted to adopting families in the United States in 1975 during "Operation Babylift" before the fall of South Vietnam. The Afro-Vietnamese (or Afro-Amerasian) children suffered much discrimination in Vietnam at that time. There was also some controversy as to how these orphaned Afro-Amerasian children were placed in new homes in the United States. The CaribbeanIn the 1860s, Chinese and East Indian immigrants arrived in the West Indies as indentures servants. Chinese male laborers and male migrants who went to Peru, Cuba, Guyana, Madagascar, America, Jamaica, Trinidad where Chinese often intermarried with local black women which resulted in large population of mulatto children. According to the 1946 Census from Jamaica and Trinidad alone, 12,394 Chinese were located between Jamaica and Trinidad. 5,515 of those who lived in Jamaica were Chinese Jamaican and another 3,673 were Chinese-Trinidadians living in Trinidad. In Haiti, there is a small percentage within the minority who are of Asian descent. For example, Haitian painter Edouard Wah was born to a Chinese father and Haitian mother. In Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad a percentage of the population of people are of Indian descent, some of whom have contributed to Afro-Asian Caribbean children. United KingdomThe UK population includes people of mixed-race and some Afro-Asian peoples. Some Afro-Asian Britons include Naomi Campbell, Freema Agyeman and David Jordan. United StatesIn 1882, the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed and Chinese workers who chose to stay in the U.S. could no longer be with their wives who stayed behind in China. Because White Americans looked at Chinese labor workers as stealing employment, they were harassed and discriminated against. Many Chinese men settled in black communities and in turn married black women. As of the census of 2000, there were 106,782 Afro-Asian individuals in the United States. KenyaMain article: Pate Island

In 1999, Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times reported a surprising encounter on the island of Pate, where he found a village of stone huts. He talked to an elderly man living in the village who said that he was a descendant of Chinese explorers who were shipwrecked there centuries before. The Chinese had supposedly traded with the locals, and had even loaded giraffes onto their ship to take back to China. However, the Chinese ran aground on a nearby reef. Kristof found evidence that confirmed the man's story. Such evidence included the Asian features of the people in the village, plus Asian-looking porcelain artifacts.
