The legacy of European colonialism, slavery as well as the patriarchy not only expands the cultural tropes of the mother figure in Caribbean literature, but also fertilizes Caribbean female discourse. This article traces the mother-daughter relationship in Anglophone-Caribbean women＇s writings and highlights the love and hatred, dependence and splitting between the mother and the daughter, on the one hand, to uncover the hidden subtexts giving birth to Caribbean maternal discourse and foreground the importance of the figure of mother in Caribbean society, and on the other hand, to mirror the historical memory and living situation of Caribbean women by analyzing the cultural connotations of the mother figure.
