Trinidad and Tobago literature has its roots in oral storytelling among African slaves, the European literary roots of the French creoles and in the religious and folk tales of the Indian indentured immigrants. It blossomed in the 20th century with the writings of C.L.R. James, V.S. Naipaul and Saint Lucian-born Derek Walcott as part of the growth of West Indian literature.

  • Litteraturen på Trinidad och Tobago präglas av landets koloniala förflutna och av traditioner från Afrika, Europa och Indien. Kulturutbytet med övriga Västindien med dess blandkulturer har varit och är omfattande. Flera författare från Trinidad har flyttat till Storbritannien eller till Nordamerika men har i sina böcker fortsatt att hämta stoff från Trinidad eller skildrat kollisioner mellan karibisk kultur och seder och värderingar i de nya länderna. (sv)
  • Литература Тринидада и Тобаго имеет корни в фольклоре африканских рабов и иммигрантов-индийцев, а также в традициях европейской литературы. Один из заметных ранних текстов в литературе страны — «Обращение к честным людям. Эрл Батерст» (AN Address to the Right Hon. Earl Bathurst, известен также под названием «Свободный мулат», 1824) Жана Баптиста Филиппа. Первым романом в литературе страны считается «Эммануэль Аппадокка: Повесть о пиратах» (1854) Майкла Маквелла Филипа. (ru)
