The Native’s View of the Tourist: "In A Small Place”"- Jamaica Kincaid
Jamaica Kincaid was born in 1949 on the island of Antigua- an island which did not achieve independence until 1981. Under British rule, the colonists attempted to turn Antigua "into England" and the natives "into English" without regard for their native culture or homeland. In this excerpt taken from her book- In A Small Place- Kincaid explores the concept of the tourist, or outsider, from the native's perspective.
