%X this paper shows a critical sociopolitical approach to £¿prospero caliban cricket£¿, by john agard and £¿else the isle with calibans£¿, by brian aldiss. the analysis is based on the sociopolitical view of dollimore (1984), dollimore and sinfield (1985) and brannigan (1998), as well as on jacques derrida£¿s (1967) binary oppositions. the results lead to these conclusions: a) caliban is a literary symbol which carries sociopolitical values during rewriting processes; b) caliban is used to criticize the treatment given to minority racial groups; c) literature is some authors£¿ way of problematizing certain social assumptions through centuries, and d) literary writing shows social, political and cultural values.
