Poet, playwright, critic, and historian, who has examined in his works the complex Caribbean heritage and its African roots. Brathwaite has been a major proponent of the use of "nation language" which is closely allied to the African experience in the Caribbean. It is not dialect or creole merely, but - as Brathwaite had defined - "the kind of English spoken by the people who were brought to the Caribbean, not the official English now, but the language of slaves and labourers, the servants who were brought in".
