Abstract:

This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built,
represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical
reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity
construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal
experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into
the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly
grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and
illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and
negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the
experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the
United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The
analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the
interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence
to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of
membership categories.
