asian literature is literature that encompasses the cultural and political world of people with both african and asian heritage it does not only tackle african heritage alone but also asian heritage affirmation literature mirrors and not only the customs and traditions of african and asian countries but also their philosophy in life which on the whole are deeply and predominantly contemplative and hauntingly sweet contemplative means filled with deep and serious thought about thing meaning to say affiration literature is also showing the different thoughts and experiences people of the two continents have aside from their customs and traditions african literature is the reflection of the storm and the stress of developing nations seeking a place entered the sun which our students must understand so you may know how this literature affects the history and culture of a nation in a simpler thought african literature refers to the literary output of the various countries and cultures in africa and asia this includes their oral traditions and from the first to the contemporary written and the or published prose and poetry asian literature alone is diverse and vibrant it is already composed of distinct or unlike elements or qualities that is full of life and excitement if this is to be audited with the splendor of african literature which is a very magnificent and beautiful you'll get an enriching afro-asian literature many of the literary works are handed down by oral tradition when we say oral tradition these are the different stories beliefs that a group of people shared by telling stories and talking to each other in africa the lack of literacy didn't make it possible to write literature down historious myths legends including stories dramas results songs proverbs and other literary works were handed by mouth from generation to generation to entertain educate and remind people about their past heroic deeds of their people ancestry and culture the importance comes from the fact that affirmation literature is a sign of new and modern times the other importance is that this writing is able to teach people and allow them to learn about different experiences and cultures from all over the world it's also of the unique struggle and success of african people in most cultures oral historism marked the beginning of teaching history later when more people were able to read and write history became recorded in prose place and textbooks literature plays a key role in promoting the values of tolerance acceptance and openness by reading about literature of other nations we have a better understanding of their values beliefs traditions and culture diversity results and conflicts between and among individuals groups and nations however cultural tolerance acceptance and openness can help establish peace
