66. Seeing Differences: Multiple Perspectives In Jamaica Kincaid’s Storiesâ€� Many stories have a perspective; jamaica kincaid’s stories have several perspectives that dance together in a continual exchange of meanings. http://web.goddard.edu/pitkin/2007_spring/SeeingDifferences.htm

Seeing Differences: Multiple Perspectives in Jamaica Kincaid’s Stories Kathryn Good-Schiff M any stories have a perspective; Jamaica Kincaid’s stories have several perspectives that dance together in a continual exchange of meanings. The pieces that comprise At the Bottom of the River explore the troubling and confusing mess of life from multiple and often contradictory points of view. Point of view can be compared between these stories, such as “Blackness,” which is narrated by a mother, and “My Mother,” which follows and is told from a daughter’s point of view. “Holidays” conveys the diverse experiences of multiple characters within one story. In “Wingless,” Kincaid implodes the concept of contradiction and effectively fashions incongruous perspectives within a single narrator. The stories in this collection are heavy with emotion that is communicated indirectly and yet potently. Kincaid is a master of implication. Her straightforward language does not soften or explain, leaving the reader to feel the full weight of each word, as in this example from “Blackness”: I see my child arise slowly from her bed. I see her cross the room and stand in front of the mirror. She looks closely at her straight, unmarred body. Her skin is without color, and when passing through a small beam of light, she is made transparent. Her eyes are ruby, revolving orbs, and they burn like coals caught suddenly in a gust of wind. This is my child! (50)

Jamaica Kincaid By Elizabeth Manus MY BROTHER: by Jamaica Kincaid. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 198 pages, $19. Jamaica Kincaid's memoir My Brother may be a slim volume, but it is not a quick read. Rather, it is a difficult one. Though it deals with a sibling's death from AIDS, readers of the harrowing Autobiography of My Mother will know not to expect a sister's heartfelt story. It is a study in detachment, in bitterness, and in survival. The subject at hand is Devon, the youngest of Kincaid's three brothers, who died of AIDS last year at the age of 33. She knew him only in his first and last three years, a bookend relationship, but it is his life and, by extension, his death that illuminates hers with blinding force, proving the linchpin that holds together "the what really happened, the what might have really happened, and how it led to what was actually happening." The subject behind the subject at hand is Kincaid's mother, who, for 13-year-old Kincaid, changed utterly after Devon's birth. "She became bitter, sharp; she and I quarreled all the time. . . . Her features collapsed, she was beautiful in the face before . . . but that wasn't true anymore after my brother was born." Kincaid explains that her mother is exemplary "when we are weak and helpless and need her. . . . It is when her children are trying to be grown-up people adults that her mechanism for loving them falls apart." Thus baby Devon and HIV-positive Devon benefit from their mother's love; his sister, as teenage bookworm and adult aspiring writer, fares miserably. When he is three years old, Kincaid (as readers may already know) leaves home for America, where she will forge a new identity with a new name, and where she will obsess about her mother but not speak to her for 20 years.

Director/a de la Tesi Paraules clau Relació materno-filial Cultura caribenya Colonialisme Literatura anglesa Data de defensa Resum The quest for an autonomous and authentic self is the founding theme of the narrative of Caribbean writer Jamaica Kincaid. In our study, we analyse the mother-daughter relationship, which is the focus of Kincaid’s plots and which, as we argue, functions as a methaphor for the dialectic of power and powerlessness governing nature and history. On one level, we observe that the narrative articulates universal paradigms, such as the passage from a paradisiacal pre-oedipal union between mother and child to a painful but necessary breach for the affirmation of the child as a separate individual. On the other hand, placed in the specific context of the Caribbean in colonial times, the mother-daughter plot not only acquires a particular sociological interest, being explored in a set of interlocking relationships of race, class and gender, but it is one that can also read as an allegory of the conflict between the mother-country and the daughter-colony. Both maternal power and imperial power are narcissistic since they demand acquiescence and imitation, while, in both cases, conflict arises at the first signs of emerging maturity. Mothering seems to be seen as a process of othering which produces alienation, and as the child has to negotiate a separation from the mother to become an autonomous individual, so the colony has to break free from the oppressive power of the mother country. In any event the process is a painful one and the final achievement of the goal is always imbued with the tremendous sense of loss that comes with freedom.

Her five books have amazed and stunned both critics and readers, propelling them into unfamiliar territory with a unique prose likely to leave a memorable impression forever. Her style of writing, similar to a poet's musical understanding of the nature of things, sets her apart from other authors. Kincaid draws in readers with frank and often horrific scenes, never shying away from revealing what we fear most. She does so without condemnation, instead presenting characters and their lives matter-of-factly. Her unpretentious storytelling probes into dark corners some would rather leave undisturbed. Her novels and short stories suggest an ongoing fictional autobiography. Her first book
