You may also want to look at Eric Cheyfitz's _The Poetics of Imperialism:
Translation and Colonization from The Tempest to Tarzan_.

Subject: Robert Hayden and *The Tempest*
In the light of recent discussions of the colonialist interpretation of *The
Tempest*, I thought people might be interested in Robert Hayden's use of this
in the poem "Middle Passage." Echoing the art/magic motif of the play, Hayden
depicts slave traders as evil magicians/bad artists whose magic turns
everything into its horrifying opposite. Fred Fetrow's article, "`Middle
Passage': Robert Hayden's Anti-Epic," in the June 1979 issue of *CLA Journal*,
might also be of interest.
