The Resource Kincaid, Jamaica
Name
Kincaid, Jamaica
Description
Jamaica Kincaid's work is influenced by the culture of her native Antigua. Her challenging novels reverberate with the island's colonial history and the legacy of British imperialism. Kincaid writes stylistically complex coming-of-age stories in which she examines the volatile relationship between mothers and daughters. Her characters are deeply conflicted and not always sympathetic, though their observations are frequently the source of the author's acerbic social commentary. Kincaid's prose is lyrical and impressionistic, often incorporating autobiographical elements. Her nonfiction is similarly poetic, and deeply concerned with social injustice in the postcolonial world. Start with: Lucy (Fiction); A Small Place (Nonfiction)
