Anonymous asked:

excuse me,I'm just a li'l bit confused

Is afro-asian literature different from asian and african?

I answered:

Hi, anonymous.

"Afro-Asian Literature" the 2nd year subject in high schools in the Philippines is not different from African and Asian literature. Literature from those two continents are taught in the same year level.

Although I see what may cause confusion. The term looks like it refers to literature by people of African and Asian heritage, but not in the context of the Philippine educational system.
