Abstract
Benítez-Rojo’s concepts of “plasma” and “metamachine” are at the core of this essay to understand Kincaid’s foregrounding of otherness, discomfort and global underground memory in My Garden (Book): (1999) and Among Flowers, A Walk in the Himalaya (2005). Graphing and grafting become privileged metaphors for Kincaid’s work as an Afro-Caribbean.
