Abstract
This article examines the tension between the pleasures of gardening and the colonial legacy of botany in Jamaica Kincaid’s My Garden (Book): arguing that her work involves an uncanny worlding that haunts the present, speaks of forgotten violences and demonstrates a common ground between vegetal, animal and human lives in the Anthropocene.
