Harlem Renaissance Literary Criticism Ippolito, Emilia. A substantial introduction to Jamaica Kincaid from the Literary Encyclopedia Schultheis, Alexandra. "Family Matters in Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother. "Ostensibly fiction, yet blurring the lines between genres, Kincaid’s writing uses long lyrical sentences which transform logical oppositions into grammatical companions in order to insist as much on a shared history of black Caribbean women as it does on the speaker’s right to define herself out of that history. Thus the text refuses any nostalgic return to coherent subjectivity, essential gender or racial identifications, or firm national identity, offering instead a voice at once assertive, self-critical, questioning, and angry whose 'very composure is so unsettling' to our fixed notions of subject and nation." Jouvert 5.2 Simmons, Diane.

In Antigua she received a British education and was frequently at the top of the class. In early childhood, she was very close to her mother. As the only child, she lived with her mother and stepfather. When she was nine years old her mother gave birth to three sons in quick succession and this altered their relationship for ever. Kincaid says that she was treated badly, that she was neglected. " " Jamaica Kincaid From that point Kincaid felt betrayed by her mother - it seemed to her that her interests were considered less important than those of her brothers. Although she was very intelligent, she was taken out of school when her third brother was born as her father was sick and could no longer support them.

Benaroya Hall, November 15, 1999 United First Methodist Church, May 5, 1992 Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links Biography The Village Voice and six years later she was hired as a staff writer for The New Yorker. Since then she has published several books including The Autobiography of My Mother (National Book Award finalist, 1997). Her passion for gardening began in Vermont where she planted only her favorite flowers. She designed her garden so that its paths and beds wove in and out like the shorelines of her native Antigua. In her book, My Garden (Book), she gathers together all she loves about gardening and plants, and explains it with the same sharpness and attention to detail that she gives to her fiction. Currently, she lives in Vermont with her husband and children, and she teaches at Harvard University. Excerpt taken from My Garden (Book) I would not be surprised if every gardener I asked had something definite that he or she liked or envied. Gardeners always have something they like intensely and in particular, right at the moment you engage them in the reality of the borders they cultivate, the space in the garden they occupy; at any moment they like in particular this, or they like in particular that, nothing in front of them (that is, in the borders they cultivate, the space in the garden they occupy) is repulsive and fills them with hatred, or this thing would not be in front of them.

Miraculously, Jamaica Kincaid got her start in print generating “Talk of the Town” pieces for the magazine, back in the (good old) days when those pieces ran without bylines. Kincaid, who celebrates times “when the sheer doing of something was enough,” reads some of her “TOT” pieces and other examples of her early work, offering tips and asides to aspiring writers in her audience. She admits having wanted to write differently from anyone else at the magazine, “a vanity or arrogance of youth.” Her piece about a book reception for economist Milton Friedman consists entirely of an inventory of the costs of the event to her and other participants (all rigorously fact-checked, Kincaid notes). She felt hostile to Friedman, because he was in those days an advisor “to a cruel government in Chile,” and Kincaid wanted to express this but ‘didn’t want to just say it.” When “Mr. Shawn published it, it was amazing to me.” Her submissions to

skip to main skip to sidebar In My Backyard One of my favorite stories from childhood is "The Bluebird", I was fascinated that the children looked everywhere for the Bluebird of Happiness only to come home and find it in their own backyard;) Monday, December 11, 2006 My Favorite Plant - edited by Jamaica Kincaid Today I started reading the book selected for this month on the Garden Bloggers book club at May Dreams Gardens . I've been waiting for it for a week. I tried to find it in our library but they didn't have it. Then I found it on e-bay and was the only bidder until the last minute when I was busy with Army parties and someone out bid me by 50 cents. I went over to Amazon and paid $5.00, which was a better deal then the book on e-bay. I've been trying to figure out what my favorite plant is and I just can't pick one. I decided to start with plants I actually have. If I picked a houseplant I would say it's a toss up between the African Violet and the Christmas Cactus. I grew up with the African Violet. My grandmother always had many different varieties all over the house. I think that is one of the few luxuries she allowed for herself. She had other plants, but it was the African Violets that would get you into the most trouble if you dared to disturb them. The Christmas Cactus I've only been getting to know for about 7 years. It's been a nice 7 years they never give me any trouble. They don't care if I'm a little late watering them. They will stay in the same pot for years without complaining. And every winter they reward my neglect with beautiful flowers.

Sometimes the canonical works of English literature were administered as punishment; for her schoolgirl crimes Kincaid was forced to copy large chunks of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Other works, such as Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, were Kincaid's best friends and she read them over and over (Garis 42). In her relation to the English language and the English literature with which colonial children were so assiduously inculcated, Kincaid presents a paradox. The emphasis on England, Kincaid has, said, the constant inference that England was the center of the universe, robbed colonial children of a sense of their own worth. Further, the rigorous study of English only enhanced the power of what Kincaid has called "the language of the criminal." This language, she writes in her long essay, A Small Place, is inherently biased in favor of those who enslaved and continue to dominate her people:

Antigua and Barbuda are small islands in the Leeward Island chain; today they are known for their pink sand beaches and high class resorts. She lived with her mother, who doted on young Jamaica, but her father was absentee thus her stepfather took on this role. She flourished in her studies, since she was usually at the top of her class, learning at the Princess Margaret School, winning her entrance by scholarship. Under the strict British education system, the author has said in a past interview with Salon magazine, she felt she was being prepared for an MFA at a young age. Jamaica read classics by British authors such as Kipling and Carlyle. She also observed her mother who read extensively, in particular biographies of famous people.
