Transnational lives and texts: Writing and theorizing United States/Central American subjectivities.
Oliva Alvarado, Karina E.

Transnational lives and texts: Writing and theorizing United States/Central American subjectivities. - 224 p.

Adviser: Jose David Saldivar.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2007.

The dissertation is an historical analysis of novels, testimonio and poetry that discusses the migrant first and second generation of Central Americans born or raised in the United States. I discuss emergent issues of subjectivity as new American border identities. I problematize the idea of fixed borders by demonstrating the cross-cultural and transnational influences between Central American nations and the US that occurs through the parents' socialization prior and post immigration. I also disrupt the idea of borders within the US by discussing the intercultural relations and challenges among US Central Americans and other US Latinos. Finally, I engage the small body of US Central American scholarship as part of border theory to center my thesis in the construction of a US Central American epistemology and discipline. As a marginal ethnicity within the US Latino minority, US Central American scholarship can further develop the decolonizing projects in relation to Chicana/o and Ethnic Studies. These are all issues brought up and analyzed through US Central American texts, narratives, and scholarship.
