Exile in Julia Alvarez’s How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 55
Abstract
Exile in Julia Alvarez's novel, How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents is polymorphous and incremental. It involves politics, culture, race, gender, ethics, ontology and language. If homelessness haunts the narrative, homesickness is equally poignant and is not cured by the return of the native. Exile forges nomadic consciousness in the narrative. This paper inquires into the multiple facets of exile linked with what Alvarez's main character refers to as “a violation in the centre of her art.” Edward Said, Barbara Cassin, and Ronald Laing provide the theoretical framework of the paper.<br/><br/>
