- Title:
- My home in Jamaica
- Description:
- My home in Jamaica, written by Pauline Matthews, is an autobiographical account of adolescence in Jamaica. In the narrative, the author discusses her role as the primary grocery-shopper and cook for her family of ten. Matthews documents her determination to change her circumstances and escape the gendered society in which she grew up; at the same time, the author spends as much time writing about her admiration for her home country. This book is from a larger series written by students at the Hackney Reading Centre in London. Black and white illustrations accompany the text.
