Cuartero Arina, Raquel2024-05-202024-05-202021-06https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14468/13208This TFG discusses the main challenges that Latin and Chicano population living in the southwest of the United States have been facing since this territory became part of the States through an analysis of the main works by three female authors with Latin ascent: Gloria Alzandúa (1987), Kali Fajardo-Anstine (2019) and Yessika Salgado (2017, 2018 and 2019). These female writers feel pride of their roots against an Anglo predominant culture and share similar concerns and experiences in their writings that are developed in the different sections of the paper: issues related to historical events, such as the change of borders between the United States and Mexico, the language issues and the migratory movements; the discrimination due to race because being mixed raced or Latin; the patriarchal society that relegates women to a domestic role; and the situation of social and economic instability derived from belonging to a low class. The three authors explain their concerns about historical changes, race, gender and class, and confront them vindicating their origin with dignity and pride.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessproyecto fin de carrerafemale writersChicano literaturegender discriminationrace discriminationimmigration in the US
