%X this article analyses the autobiographical novel my brother written by jamaica kincaid, a caribbean writer who lives in the united states of america. the article shows how kincaid¡¯s narrative texts and her self construction as a writer differ from the literature of other diasporic writers, especially regarding her reluctance to participate in collective projects of transcultural association. nevertheless, a careful reading of the mourning represented in my brother shows how the narrator¡¯s self-conscious discourse is subverted by the fragility and vulnerability caused by the illness and death of a beloved person.
