Synopsis "Un Pequeño Lugar (in Spanish)"

Tomando la figura y la actitud típica de un turista blanco en su tierra tropical, la autora hace una denuncia mordaz sobre lo que ha supuesto –supone todavía- la colonización y la esclavitud para el desarrollo social, económico y cultural de su país. La experiencia personal de su niñez en esta diminuta isla y la historia de sus antepasados esclavizados, hacen que la autora ponga el dedo en la llaga de la nueva colonización que significa ciertas formas (casi todas) de turismo. Con un excelente estilo literario, Jamaica Kincaid utiliza un lenguaje directo, tajante y claro, y a su vez maneja la prosa de manera cálida e inteligente. Escribe y describe con pasión, dominio, convicción y sabiduría su tierra caribeña y posee una inmensa facilidad para expresarse y dibujar el paisaje en que se mueve. Un pequeño lugar es una obra breve, pero no necesita más hojas para dejar claro lo que trata de denunciar. Jamaica Kincaid es una voz muy militante, airada y poética en contra del colonialismo y de lo que éste hizo con su vida. Ha sido llevada al cine con el título Life and debt y recibió el Premio especial de la Crítica de Los Angeles (2001).
