Question: Were Sylvia Wynter and Mary Flannery O'Connor both essayists?
Context: Danny Wynter (born 25 May 1982), known professionally as Danny Lee Wynter, is an English actor, writer, and campaigner.  He is best known for playing the lead role of Joe in Stephen Poliakoff's BBC films Joe's Palace and Capturing Mary, alongside Sir Michael Gambon and Dame Maggie Smith.  He is also recognised for his stage work. The coloniality of power is a concept interrelating the practices and legacies of European colonialism in social orders and forms of knowledge, advanced in postcolonial studies and Latin American subaltern studies, most prominently by Anibal Quijano.  It identifies and describes the living legacy of colonialism in contemporary societies in the form of social discrimination that outlived formal colonialism and became integrated in succeeding social orders.  The concept identifies the racial, political and social hierarchical orders imposed by European colonialism in Latin America that prescribed value to certain peoples/societies while disenfranchising others.  Quijano argues that the colonial structure of power resulted in a caste system, where Spaniards were ranked at the top and those that they conquered at the bottom due to their different phenotypic traits and a culture presumed to be inferior.  This categorization resulted in a persistent categorical and discriminatory discourse that was reflected in the social and economic structure of the colony, and that continues to be reflected in the structure of modern postcolonial societies.  Maria Lugones expands the definition of coloniality of power by noting that it imposes values and expectations on gender as well, in particular related to the European ranking of women as inferior to men.  The concept was also expanded upon by Ramón Grosfoguel, Walter Mignolo, Sylvia Wynter, and Nelson Maldonado-Torres.  Quijano's work on the subject "had wide repercussions among Latin American postcolonial scholars in the North American academy." Savacou was a journal of literature, new writing and ideas founded in 1970 as a small co-operative venture, led by Edward Kamau Brathwaite, on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, Jamaica.  Characterised as "groundbreaking" by Alison Donnell, "Savacou" grew out of The Caribbean Artists Movement of the 1960s, which was mostly concerned with Caribbean artistic production and with consolidating a broad artistic alliance between all "Third World" peoples.  It took its name from the bird-god in Carib mythology who controlled thunder and strong winds.  Issue 1 of "Savacou" was published in June 1970, edited by Brathwaite, Kenneth Ramchand and Andrew Salkey.  Its advisory committee included John La Rose, Lloyd King, Gordon Rohlehr, Orlando Patterson, Sylvia Wynter, Paule Marshall and Wilfred Cartey, and among its early contributors were C. L. R. James, Michael Anthony, Derek Walcott, George Lamming, Martin Carter and John Figueroa. The Flannery O'Connor Childhood Home is a historic house museum in Savannah, Georgia where American author Flannery O'Connor lived during her childhood.  The home is located at 207 E. Charlton Street on Lafayette Square. "Judgement Day" is a short story by Flannery O'Connor.  It was published in 1965 in her short story collection "Everything That Rises Must Converge".  O'Connor finished the collection during her final battle with lupus.  She died in 1964, just before her final book was published.  A devout Roman Catholic, O'Connor often used religious themes in her work.  Judgement day contains many similarities to one of O'Connor's earliest short stories, "The Geranium." "A View of the Woods" is a short story by Flannery O'Connor.  It was completed in the fall of 1956 and was first published in the Fall 1957 issue of "Partisan Review".  It was later republished in "The Best American Short Stories of 1958", and again in 1965, in O'Connor's short story collection, "Everything That Rises Must Converge".  O'Connor had first submitted it to "Harper's Bazaar", although she correctly expected that the story was "a little grim" for the Harper's readership and would be rejected.  A devout Roman Catholic, O'Connor often used religious themes in her work; "A View of the Woods" contains numerous references to the Judeo-Christian tradition.  It explores the ideas of modernism and materialism pitted against salvation. The Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction is an annual prize awarded by the University of Georgia Press named in honor of the American short story writer and novelist Flannery O'Connor. The Honourable Sylvia Wynter, O.J. (born 11 May 1928), is a Jamaican novelist, dramatist critic and essayist. Mary Flannery O'Connor (March 25, 1925August 3, 1964) was an American writer and essayist.  She wrote two novels and thirty-two short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries.  She was a Southern writer who often wrote in a Southern Gothic style and relied heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters.  Her writing also reflected her Roman Catholic faith and frequently examined questions of morality and ethics.  Her posthumously compiled "Complete Stories" won the 1972 U.S. National Book Award for Fiction and has been the subject of enduring praise. William A. Sessions (August 04, 1928—August 12, 2016) was an American author, biographer and professor emeritus of English at Georgia State University, known for his writings about and relationship with Flannery O'Connor.  After meeting her when they were both working for the Archdiocese of Atlanta's newspaper, Sessions corresponded with, and frequently visited, O'Connor, and is mentioned in many of her letters as the "absurd" or "breathless" Billy.  The two corresponded when O'Connor was between the ages of 20 and 22.  Sessions' articles on O'Connor have appeared in the Washington and Lee University Review, the National Catholic Reporter and Studies in Short Fiction.  He is also the founding editor of "the Carolina Quarterly" and "Studies in the Literary Imagination".  Awards Sessions has received include the Nikos Kazantzakis Medal from Greece, as well as an honorary degree from Coastal Carolina University.  He is also a poet, and his poetry has been published in "The Southern Review", "The Georgia Review", and "The Chattahoochee Review".  Sessions also discovered one of O'Connor's private journals in her archives; the entries in the journal were published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux as "A Prayer Journal" in November 2013.
