dc.description.resumo	Jamaica Kincaid's Lucy and A Small PlaceThe present dissertation anlyzes the use of literature as a form of resistance to Empire in Lucy and A Small Place by the West Indian Writer Jamaica Kincaid. As a migrant writer living in the US, Kincaid has produced a counter-narrative agasinst figures of authority represented by the British colonialism and the Carbbean morherland, aiming at undermining essentialist constructions of the Caribbean. I discuss Kincaid's appropitions of Lucifer, from Milton's Paradise Lost, in the charaterization of the protagonist of Lucy, wo rebels against any form of authority. I also analyze Lucy's process of self-fashioning through art.	pt_BR
