Abstract
Abstract:
Through the works of Jamaica Kincaid, this essay argues that queer West Indian women migrate to America to continue and expand their childhood queer exploration into adulthood by accessing an identity based on sexual orientation rather than race. It also argues that the United States has supplanted the United Kingdom in the queer West Indian imagination.
