Soñando se crean nuevos acentos

In an approach to four novels written by two Caribbean-American authors, Julia Álvarez and Cristina García, Elizabeth de Régules analyzes the identity traits that are evidenced through the use of the English language over a Hispanic linguistic substrate. These identity traits are part of a hybrid experiential world in which immigrants from diverse Hispanic-Caribbean socio-cultural strata live. Fictional stories are plotted through the literary configuration, whose real references are Dominican-Cuban. The author places special emphasis on the linguistic-literary configuration of the four novels whose plots interweave Caribbean culture, Judeo-Christian myths, Santeria and other elements to create an intense and interesting texture.
