Descripción
In Mr. Potter (2002), Jamaica Kincaid brilliantly shows the invisibility of the Jews in the multiethnic fabric of Creole society. Kincaid, who converted to Judaism in 1993, painstakingly makes clear that not only does the Afro-Caribbean majority ignore the "strangers" in their midst, but that the exiled post-Shoah migrants in these communities have difficulties making themselves feel at home in their new environments.
