TRANSLATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF ASIAN AND AFRICAN WRITERS IN THE GLOBAL LITERATURE

Abstract

This research examines what comparative literature is, how it is seen now, its advantages, and the theoretical and practical errors committed in text comparisons. Literature has been debated since the Greek and Latin civilizations. There have been many literary masterpieces that have been both praised and criticized. A broad international literature is the result of writers' interactions throughout the globe, from East to West and North to South. Literature and its significance to mankind are discussed in Culture, Language, and the Evolution of African Literature. The reader is better equipped linguistically and morally to function in society as a result of this resource, ethically, and intellectually. Imperialist opponents denigrate African literature as racial and reject its idea of universalism. Western Eurocentricism rejects non-Western ideas as non-universal. African authors are used to critique Western Europe's unwholesome mentality and argue that universalism may come from anyone. The article also suggests that only a global perspective on literature may disclose universal truths. Second, literature enriches human experience and promotes universal truths. In conclusion, the article asserts that the only way for humanity to advance intellectually and ethically is via an approach to literature that is open to accepting the truths in literary works (even if they contradict one's preexisting views).
