Somos

Somos is a curated creative dissertation that explores the complexity of bilingualism within Latine literature and experimental forms of narrative, borrowing non-fiction elements into a fictional novel. The project is also focused on exploring disappearance and loss within the Mexican American community and to process a connection to the concept of a “motherland.” While the completed manuscript for Somos exists and is divided into five parts and an epilogue, only Parts 1, 3, 4, and the epilogue are being submitted to fulfill the dissertation requirement.
