Jamaica Kincaid's The Autobiography of My Mother explores the gendered subjectivities by the politics of power, unveiling deeply hidden truth about colonialism and its aftermath on the Caribbean women. This paper aims to examine connections between colonialism and gender relations through the postcolonial and the feminist perspectives in this text. The Autobiography unravels the many complex layers of the Caribbean women's experience. As a powerful instrument to interrogate the received notion of history, allegories with the gender concern in the text offers another dimension to the counter-discursive strategy. And the conscious focus on autobiography calls attention to the subversiveness of the act of self-writing. Xuela is the medium through which Kincaid gives an account of the effects of the imperial machine that extends back to Christopher columbus and the start of British colonialism and then joins up with the postcolonial present day. Through her mother, an Amerindian, one of the vanished people in Dominica. Xuela investigates the historial and cultural context of the isolation of the Caribbean women. This decentered, marginalized mother is conveyed through the ghost figure. What Kincaid depicts through allegory of the father and the mother in this novel is the society that grows out of the climate that colonization created. The masculine principle her father represents comes from the acquisitive nature of the European colonial patriarchy. Despite his own African heritage. Alfred, Xuela's father, is the colonial who has adopted the colonizer's tastes, his language, his religion, and his values, even the Manichean ideology that leads him. Xuela, however, subverts the familiar equation, replacing the mother with her counterpart and characterizing the fatherland by its oppressive patriarchal law. Thus, Kincaid succeeds in providing us with the women's question of the so-called ‘third world' which is intricately tied to anti-colonialism and the patriarchy. Unveiling the colonized history of her homeland as well as the diaspora history which has been effaced by dominated colonial patriarchal discourse, Kincaid makes a strong contribution to postcolonial feminism, by making a space to dis-place history. whose history have been misrepresented or erased.
