Jamaica Kincaid, Merle Hodge, George Lamming. The Two Worlds Of The Child
The Two Worlds of the Child A study of the novels of three West Indian writers jamaica kincaid, Merle Hodge, and George Lamming.
http://www.literature-study-online.com/essays/kincaid_hodge_lamming.html

Extractions: As Ngugi put it in Decolonizing the Mind Children who encountered literature in colonial schools and universities were thus experiencing the world defined and reflected in the European experience of history. Their entire way of looking at the world, even the world of the immediate environment, was Euro-centric. Europe was the centre of Universe. The earth moved around the European intellectual scholarly axis. The images children encountered in literature were reinforced by their study of history and geography, and science and technology where Europe was, once again, the centre. This in turn fitted well with the cultural imperatives of British imperialism.

Extractions: Kincaid read from and commented on the journals, which she called a "founding text" of her own work and life, in Salomon 101 last night to kick off Caribbean Heritage Week. Kincaid spoke about how Columbus' initial impressions of the Caribbean set the template for how foreigners - specifically, white Europeans - continue to see the region today and what it has meant for people of Caribbean heritage.

Once in NY she dyed her hair blonde, changed her name to jamaica kincaid, cut off all ties with her mother and began writing classes at The New School.
http://www.bookreporter.com/authors/au-kincaid-jamaica.asp

Extractions: BIO Born Elaine Potter Richardson in Antigua on May 25th, 1949, Kincaid was raised by her mother, never knowing her father. After growing contemptuous of the British regime in her homeland - she left the Caribbean at the age of 17 to pursue an opportunity as an au pair in New York. Once in NY she dyed her hair blonde, changed her name to Jamaica Kincaid, cut off all ties with her mother and began writing classes at The New School. While accompanying George W.S. Trow, as he researched pieces for the New Yorker column "Talk of the Town," Kincaid started taking notes on events in the city. Trow passed her notes on to William Shawn, then the editor of the New Yorker, who recognized Kincaid's talent and decided to print her notes as a piece. Shawn then went on to publish "Girl," a piece of Kincaid's short fiction in 1978. A year later, Kincaid married the composer Allen Shawn (William Shawn's son). Kincaid wrote regularly for the New Yorker until fairly recently when she left, citing she was displeased with the vision of new editor.

http://social.chass.ncsu.edu/jouvert/v5i2/kincai.htm

Extractions: The Autobiography of My Mother Amit S. Rai begins his essay, "’Thus Spake the Subaltern…’: Postcolonial Criticism and the Scene of Desire," with the following question: "If we are sure today that the subaltern cannot speak, can we be as sure that her ghost does not, especially when postcolonial criticism seems to re-present the discourse of that ghost?" (91). In The Autobiography of My Mother , that ghost speaks in multiple voices which blur the lines between fiction, biography, autobiography, and criticism. I adopt Rai’s figure of the ghost here not to detract from the powerful subjectivity of Kincaid’s narrator, Xuela, whom Kincaid calls "more godlike" than her previous protagonists, but to emphasize her ability to transcend traditional literary and political realms. Xuela tells of her life on postcolonial Dominica, and while her story is intensely private, avoiding mention of the island’s political affairs in favor of her thoughts and relationships, it is imbrued with the history of colonialism and slavery. The story also draws on Kincaid’s own life (as does all of her fiction) and that of her grandmother, such that, as Alison Donnell writes in "When Writing the Other is Being True to the Self," "we cannot be certain who the auto-biographer is [of] this text, or if there is more than one, for if this is Kincaid’s mother’s auto/biography, then Kincaid is still present as the ‘ghost’ writer/biographer" (127). The layered voices of the female narrator disrupt familiar patterns of subjectivity and nationhood as well as the autobiographical form.

Extractions: Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com (Reviewed by Bill Robinson JUN 26, 2002) This is perhaps the saddest, but most wise and beautiful book that you will read this year. It is perhaps the saddest, but most wise and beautiful book that you will ever read. It may change your life, if not certainly your heart. However, to acknowledge author Jamaica Kincaid's fatalistic undercurrent, it may do nothing to you at all. Kincaid's personal history is well-known: Born in 1949 into poverty on the Caribbean island of Antigua , at age 17, she emigrated to the U.S. from St. John's, Antigua, to become an au pair in New York. (She has said in interviews that "servant" is the word she prefers.)

http://universityrelations.cnu.edu/news/2007/01_22_07kincaid.html

Extractions: (NEWPORT NEWS, Va.) — Internationally recognized author, filmmaker and Harvard professor, Jamaica Kincaid will speak on "Coming of Age in a Small Place" as the first Dean William Parks Colloquium speaker of 2007. Kincaid's free presentation will be at the Ferguson Center for the Arts in the Music and Theatre Hall, 7 p.m., February 1, to coincide with both Black History Month and Jamestown 2007. The Dean William Park Colloquium is sponsored and presented free of charge to the community. Born on the island of Antigua, Jamaica Kincaid has become one of the most influential and important authors writing in America today. She writes about her experiences in Antigua under English colonial rule, memories which instilled in her the need to speak about the world from the perspective of the colonized. "I never give up thinking about the way I came into the world," writes Kincaid, "how my ancestors came from Africa to the West Indies as slaves. I just never forget it. It's like a big wave that still pulsing." Kincaid's literary voice is also deeply rooted in her tempestuous experiences as a child with her mother. Her talk on "Coming of Age in a Small Place" will discuss both her family relations as well as her experiences under colonial rule.
