Haunted by the memories of her powerfully destructive mother,
Jamaica Kincaid is a writer out of necessity. Born Elaine Potter
Richardson, Kincaid grew up in the West Indies in the shadow of her
deeply contemptuous and abusive mother, Annie Drew. Drawing heavily
on Kincaid's many remarks on the autobiographical sources of her
writings, J. Brooks Bouson investigates the ongoing construction of
Kincaid's autobiographical and political identities. She focuses
attention on what many critics find so enigmatic and what lies at
the heart of Kincaid's fiction and nonfiction work: the "mother
mystery." Bouson demonstrates, through careful readings, how
Kincaid uses her writing to transform her feelings of shame into
pride as she wins the praise of an admiring critical establishment
and an ever-growing reading public.
