The Construction of Hybrid Identities and Homelands in Jumpa Lahiri’s “Once in a Lifetime” and Uva de Aragon’s Memoria del Silencio

In “Once in a Lifetime” (2009) written by Jhumpa Lahiri and Memoria del Silencio (2002) by Uva de Aragón, we are introduced to the life stories of two young girls as members of the Bengal and the Cuban diasporas since both girls migrate, due to different reasons, to the U.S.A.

From the postcolonial perspective proposed by Madan Sarup in Identity, Culture and the Postmodern World (1996) I will analyze the basic and intimate sphere of the concept of “home” and how this concept turns into a hybrid space where different and, sometimes, opposed values, habits and customs coexist and, at the same time, influence and shape the subjectivities that emerge in those places Tanto en “Once in a Lifetime” (2009) de Jhumpa Lahiri como en Memoria del Silencio (2002) de Uva de Aragón, se presenta la historia de jóvenes que relatan sus experiencias como integrantes de la diáspora bengalí y la diáspora cubana, respectivamente, dado que las jóvenes deben, por diversos motivos, migrar a los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Desde el enfoque postcolonial propuesto por Madan Sarup en Identity, Culture and the Postmodern World (1996) se abordará la esfera íntima y elemental del “hogar” y cómo dicho concepto se torna un espacio híbrido donde conviven valores, hábitos y costumbres disímiles y, en ocasiones, opuestos entre sí, y que, necesariamente, influyen en las subjetividades que allí emergen.
