The close reading of this representative piece of US Caribbean literature elucidates how Ferré utilizes the dialogic form to contest the Puerto Rican cultural and national politics that tend to suppress and silence the non- white (black and indigenous) components of Puerto Rican identity. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Eger Journal of English Studies is the property of Eszterhazy Karoly College, Department of English Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
