ESSAY ON: A Comparison Between Walcott’s “A Far Cry from Africa” and Brand’s “Blues Spiritual for Mammy Prater” and the Impact of Colonization

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: This is a 5 page paper comparing the poems and the effect of colonization in the works “A Far Cry from Africa” by Derek Walcott and “Blues Spiritual for Mammy Prater” by Dionne Brand. Both are writers who feel displaced by their mixed West Indian and European backgrounds combined with their present dual nationalities in North America and Trinidad. While Walcott’s “Far Cry” depicts a man with divided loyalties and displays the brutality of colonization, Brand’s “Mammy” gives more a sense of Mammy’s strength over her oppressors. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
