Exoticism‚ Extirpation‚ Ambivalence‚ and Identity: Flora in Kincaid’s “My Brother” Jamaica Kincaid’s “My Brother” is a mini-epic about disjointed family‚ loss of identity and absolution‚ all of which are represented quite distinctly in the story through setting—more specifically‚ by the plant life in the story.
