In 'Autobiography of my Mother', Jamaica Kincaid narrates the story of Xuela, a woman born in Dominica whose birth coincides with the death of her mother. Abandoned by her father and raised by a laundress, Xuela decides not to have children or participate in conventional life experiences. Through a poetic and moving prose, Kincaid explores themes of abandonment, rebellion, and the search for identity in a Caribbean context marked by colonial history. This work is an atypical portrait of a woman who faces existence with anger and bewilderment, becoming one of the most outstanding works of this internationally recognized author.
Jamaica Kincaid is an Antiguan–American novelist, essayist, gardener, and gardening writer. Born in St. John's, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, she lives in North Bennington, Vermont, and is Professor of African and African American Studies in Residence Emerita at Harvard University.
