VIH/Sida y relaciones de poder en Mi hermano de Jamaica Kincaid

Abstract

"This essay addresses the power relationship between the protagonist and her sick brother with AIDS as an allegory of an American neo-colonialist enterprise in Antigua as described in the novel My Brother (1997) by Jamaica Kincaid. Moreover, I argue that medication used for HIV/AIDS is a facilitator of the neocolonial process and is more beneficial to the pharmacological industries and the capitalist system than to the patients themselves."
