This chapter explores the reconstruction process of migrant women’s identities through self-reflexivity in the literary production of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Based on a wider project, its main aim is to bridge the gap between migrants’ voices in the European literature landscape. The core question addressed is: what are the dominant discourses (systemic) and experiences (individual) about race, class, gender roles linked to relationships of power/oppression that shape migrant women identities and critical writing? The main findings show that rethinking identity construction is relevant for gender equality and social cohesion.

Abstract

This chapter explores the reconstruction process of migrant women’s identities through self-reflexivity in the literary production of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Based on a wider project, its main aim is to bridge the gap between migrants’ voices in the European literature landscape. The core question addressed is: what are the dominant discourses (systemic) and experiences (individual) about race, class, gender roles linked to relationships of power/oppression that shape migrant women identities and critical writing? The main findings show that rethinking identity construction is relevant for gender equality and social cohesion.
