I want to talk about these questions today

1. Let’s make a list.  Where was the clothing you are currently wearing manufactured?

2. According to Kincaid, what is the island that most tourists see when they visit Antigua?  Is that an accurate image?  How so?  

3. Kincaid seems to imply that “a small place” like Antigua has difficulty competing in a big world.  Describe the economic state of the island nation (c.1988).  How does she explain that situation?

4. According to the author, why do the locals have such a disdain for Antiguan tourists?

5. Ultimately, what do you think Kincaid wants the (Western) reader to understand or do?

6. If you're interested, this photo series by Michael Wolf is pretty amazing:
