Kamau Brathwaite
Edward Kamau Brathwaite, CHB (; 11 May 1930 – 4 February 2020), was a Barbadian poet and academic, widely considered one of the major voices in the Caribbean literary canon. Formerly a professor of Comparative Literature at New York University, Brathwaite was the 2006 International Winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize, for his volume of poetry ''Born to Slow Horses''.Brathwaite held a Ph.D. from the University of Sussex (1968) and was the co-founder of the Caribbean Artists Movement (CAM). He received both the Guggenheim and Fulbright Fellowships in 1983, and was a winner of the 1994 Neustadt International Prize for Literature, the Bussa Award, the Casa de las Américas Prize for poetry, and the 1999 Charity Randall Citation for Performance and Written Poetry from the International Poetry Forum.
Brathwaite was noted for his studies of Black cultural life both in Africa and throughout the African diasporas of the world in works such as ''Folk Culture of the Slaves in Jamaica'' (1970); ''The Development of Creole Society in Jamaica, 1770–1820'' (1971); ''Contradictory Omens'' (1974); ''Afternoon of the Status Crow'' (1982); and ''History of the Voice'' (1984), the publication of which established him as the authority of note on nation language.
Brathwaite often made use of a combination of customized typefaces (some resembling dot matrix printing) and spelling, referred to as Sycorax video style. Provided by Wikipedia
