A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid

emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I read it and then sat there and reread large portions again right after. It is perfect in form and function. Searing criticism of colonialism, white supremacy, capitalism, and tourism in both overt and covert ways. From the larger ideas and arguments she's making to the subtle turns of phrase, this is so effective and masterful. I read this because of @ifthisisparadise's Jamaica Kincaid book club and I'm so glad I decided to join in because Kiki is providing so many insightful details that enrich the experience further.
