    Bodily matters : the female Dominican diaspora in Angie Cruz’s Dominicana
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Arce Álvarez, María Laura
    The aim of this article is to analyze Angie Cruz’s novel Dominicana from a multicultural and gender perspective focusing on how Cruz introduces the female body as a metaphor for the immigrant experience lived by Dominican Women during the 1960s in the United States. Also, this paper studies how the female body becomes a metaphorical border in the diasporic experience for the central character as a way to depict an essentially female in-between-space. Thus, Cruz rewrites and recreates from the female body the diasporic experience of Dominican women immigrants in New York from an intersectional perspective.
