Sumario: | This doctoral thesis explores the narrative works of six Caribbean female authors who migrated to the United States during their childhood or early youth. It examines the construction of identity in the context of migration and cultural intersections. The study delves into the philosophical and contemporary debates on identity, highlighting the Caribbean's historical and cultural complexities. Focusing on the '1.5 generation' of immigrants, the thesis analyzes novels by Edwidge Danticat, Jamaica Kincaid, and others, exploring themes such as cultural hybridity, migration, and personal identity. The thesis aims to understand how these authors express their experiences and the broader socio-cultural dynamics of the Caribbean.
