| description | Mujcinovic examines the depiction of exile in three Latina texts--Helena Maria Viramontes' "The Cariboo Cafe," Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban, and Julia Alvarez's How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents--in an attempt to investigate different articulations of the exilic condition. As complexity and ambiguity become revealed through diverse and distinct personal experiences, exile in the selected texts ceases to be a homogenous and immutable condition; while its state is demonstrated to be debilitating, it is also presented as potentially liberating. By emphasizing this multiple meaning, US Latina literature investigates exile as a complicated complex condition that evades generalization and consistency. |
