Understanding Jamaica Kincaid's Annie John: A Student Casebook to Issues, Sources, and Historical DocumentsBloomsbury Academic, 30. jan. 1999 - 210 sider Since its publication in 1985, Annie John has become one of the most widely taught novels in American high schools.

Among the topics examined are slavery in the Caribbean, the various religions in the Caribbean islands, the controversy over Christopher Columbus, family life in Antigua, and emigrations from the West Indies to the United States. Sources include newspaper and magazine articles, editorials, first-person narratives and memoirs of life in the Caribbean, letters, and position papers. |
