A brilliant look at colonialism and its effects in Antigua, by the author of Annie John.Lyrical, sardonic, and forthright, A Small Place magnifies our vision of one small place with Swiftian wit and precision. Jamaica Kincaid’s expansive essay candidly appraises the ten-by-twelve-mile island in the British West Indies where she grew up, Antigua, and makes palpable the impact of European colonialism and tourism.This book is a missive to the traveler, whether American or European, who wants to escape the banality and corruption of some large place.
