Hey
Literary bugs!
So firstly apologies for this long awaited post. Being in my final
year in university has been very exasperating, meaning I haven't had the chance
to do my second favourite thing after reading. However that will all change
soon! Summer is on its way and so are your weekly posts, and maybe a few
more because I have been abate. These past few months have been very informing.
My dissertation was about black women and their role in literature so I had to
do a great deal of research not only on history but particularly black women in
history, I am hoping this information will percolate into my blog. Although
this blog began as platform for discussing literature, I am hoping to see it
mature this summer into a blog not only interested in postcolonial literature, but
a platform which also considers political and social aspects of postcolonial
culture. I will also consider African-American literature which although isn't
often considered under postcolonial genre, is very closely attached for obvious
reasons... for those of you confused I am referring the connotations attached
to having a darker complexion. So I look forward to beginning that!
To direct this blog in the direction highlighted in the latter.
Lets begin with Kendrick Lamar's album
To Pimp a Butterfly which is a LITERARY MASTER PIECE. Don't forget music is poetry in
its own right ... well at least good music. Lamar's album is a legendary piece
of work which uses the popular platform of HipHop to educate, which in itself
is beautiful, haven't seen that kind of work since Tupac. I hope to do a more
detailed piece on his album, but so I don't leave you feeling ravenous for
knowledge, attached at the bottom please find a article about his album and a
link to his album which you can listen to on youtube.
Lastly, I promise to try my best to abide to each of the 'hopes'
stated in this piece,
Peace and happy reading and listening !
