Scott Fitzgerald's classic Jazz Age novel The Great Gatsby. In probing the intertextual connections between the two novels, this paper argues that Quiñonez's engagement with Fitzgerald's text should be read as post-colonial response, as doing so highlights the persistent coloniality that is experienced by Puerto Ricans living in the mainland United States. By reading Bodega Dreams within the context of its specific Puerto Rican cultural dynamics, the paper argues that the coloniality of the Puerto Rican diaspora is revealed, and thus amplifies the critique of the American Dream that is initiated in Fitzgerald's classic. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Centro Journal is the property of Centro de Estudios Puertorriquenos (Center for Puerto Rican Studies) and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
