At first glance, the Caribbean garden seems an unlikely candidate for a site in which to think through contemporary debates surrounding place and identity. The garden is readily assimilable neither to a postmodern reading of space, nor to contemporary discussions of Caribbean identity which are profoundly suspicious of New World pastoral narratives. Yet two novels by Gisèle Pineau and Shani Mootoo demonstrate that the garden offers significant advantages that aid in the process of reimagining place. In particular, Pineau and Mootoo suggest through their reinterpretations of the Caribbean garden that, rather than exchanging old narratives of identity for new ones, it is most productive to read territorialized and deterritorialized narratives of identity in tension with one another
