Yes, but (putting on my stupid hat here) how do we find said native authors?
One way that occurs to me is looking on Wikipedia for a category like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Caribbean_writers
and digging around there.
There's a master list of writers by nationality here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Writers_by_nationality
But Wikipedia itself suffers from systemic bias. And those lists don't give us any hints on which ones are writing historical fiction.
