This study aims to analyze Reyna Grande's A Dream Called Home (2018), through the lens of crossing borders in search of home and belonging. The memoir exemplifies Patricia Hill Collins's intersectional approach, which, according to the authors of The Matrix Reader: Examining the Dynamics of Oppression and Privilege, "examines how race, gender, and other systems of inequality interact and intersect within a matrix of oppression and privilege" (xi). Thus, Grande's work will be examined using the intersectional approach, along with the concepts of trauma, insidious trauma, hostipitality, and Leo R. Chavez's "Latino Threat Narrative" to analyze representations of multiple border crossings and their effects on the main character. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
