• Resumen

  • 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.
