NARRACIÓN E IDENTIDAD HÍBRIDA EN CARAMELO OR PURO CUENTO DE SANDRA CISNEROS.

Sandra Cisnero's novel Caramelo or puro cuento (2002) reveals the unspoken history of four generations of the Reyes family, all of them influenced by their continuous comings and goings between Spain, Mexico and the USA. The investigation aims to examining the strategies that the protagonist and narrator uses to question hegemonic discourses about her cultural identity. To this end, we will analyze the way the narrator places herself in a third space, an uncertain and uncomfortable territory, but from which she can resignificate the binary system that regulates the notion of cultural difference. We will also study the possibilities that the hybrid narration of the novel offers to question authority, not only from a political, but also from a narrative point of view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
