Understanding Jamaica Kincaid introduces readers to the
prizewinning author best known for the novels ""Annie John"",
""Lucy"", and ""The Autobiography of My Mother"". Justin D. Edwards
surveys Jamaica Kincaid's life, career, and major works of fiction
and nonfiction to identify and discuss her recurring interests in
familial relations, Caribbean culture, and the aftermath of
colonialism and exploitation. In addition to examining the haunting
prose, rich detail, and personal insight that have brought Kincaid
widespread praise, Edwards also identifies and analyzes the
novelist's primary thematic concerns - the flow of power and the
injustices faced by people undergoing social, economic, and
political change. Edwards chronicles Kincaid's childhood in
""Antigua"", her development as a writer, and her early
journalistic work as published in the ""New Yorker"" and other
magazines. In separate chapters he provides critical appraisals of
Kincaid's early novels; her works of nonfiction, including ""My
Brother"" and ""A Small Place""; and her more recent novels,
including ""Mr. Potter"". Edwards discusses the way in which
Kincaid both exposes the problems of colonization and
neocolonization and warns her readers about the dire consequences
of inequality in the era of globalization.
