Lucy Lesson Plan

Consider teaching Lucy alongside other works by Jamaica Kincaid, like Annie John, as this work is also semi-autobiographical and details elements of Kincaid's earlier life. Additionally, consider connecting this work to the scholarship of other Caribbean feminist writers, like West Indian poet Una Marson and Jamaican poet-historian Afua Cooper. Together these authors will provide a rich curriculum on the experiences of Black women and girls in the Caribbean, offer critiques of colonialism from the perspective of various islands, and critically grapple with sexism.
