| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I examined the relation between prison and colonial governance in Anglophone Caribbean literature. As a consequence, I could not complete my initial plan of research and writing, especially of the relation between African Literature and prison. But I could publish some articles related to Anglophone Caribbean Literature. Especially, I could somehow produce a draft on prison literature that focused on C.L.R. James's book on Herman Melville. Furthermore, there was an unexpected consequence from this project: a perspective on comparative literature in the Cold War era, which contrasts East Asian literature (especially of the Korean War and Okinawa) with Anglophone Caribbean Literature of the 1950s, making the U.S. military occupation a common ground.
