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.\u003c\/p\u003e\nThis book is a missive to the traveler, whether American or European, who wants to escape the banality and corruption of some large place. Kincaid, powerful and resolute, reminds us that the Antiguan people, formerly British subjects, are unable to escape the same drawbacks of their own tiny realm--that behind the benevolent Caribbean scenery are human lives, always complex and often fraught with injustice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn(Other) World Book Club in partnership with Masterworks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLong Story Short created reading lists to complement ‘(An)other World’, an exhibit at Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art that ‘positions the island and its artists not as passive subjects but as active contributors of cultural authorship, innovation and historical momentum.’  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe books in the adult reading list have been selected to be in dialogue with the exhibit and, explore themes of (neo)colonialism, identity, migration, and access.
