- Description:
- Introduction: "As an undocumented scholar, finding these works of literature which convey messages of liminality, exile, and one’s personal search for belonging reverberates with my crossing of the US-Mexican border and loss of home. It was thereby through my own experiences that I developed an interest in exploring the presence of borderlands in reference to identity formation salient in literature. In my research, I find that while there is a popularized discourse surrounding border narratives produced in the United States, the inclusion of border texts occurring at the southern side of the US-Mexican border is absent. More specifically, the literary discourse centering around borders predominantly focuses on popularized texts emerging from the Chicano literary genre. . . ."
