Summary/Abstract: In Caribbean novels the representation of childhood is an obsessively recurring theme; authors may feel it an impediment to give voice to their childhood experiences, and they depict a restrained social environment which impels the protagonists to leave their native islands in search of channels for further development when reaching adolescence. Female authors, Merle Hodge and Jamaica Kincaid might even experience a double disadvantage. The analysis of their novels, Crick Crack, Monkey and Annie John serves here as illustrative examples.
