late 1800s- early 1900s trinidad literature.
« on: February 16, 2009, 03:02:49 PM »
Hey, I have a paper to write, and I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions for stories from this period that I could read. I want to write a paper comparing japanese literature to trini literature for my class in japanese lit. in translation.

edit: I'm looking for novels, short stories, or poetry.

Thanks, I just realized that my school's library has quite a few books by those authors, and then some.
