Abstract

The fact that U.S. Latinx live “between two worlds” make their artistic production a pungent element to obtain support for social inclusion and equality. The anxieties of these artists are related to a wide range of social and identity matters. Longing for the American Dream, these immigrants and their descendants realized the necessity to overcome not only physical but also cultural, linguistic, economic and racial barriers. For instance, the Dominican-American writer Julia Alvarez examines the issue of being “hyphenized” in her text “Entre Lucas y Juan Mejía” (1992). This study also examines the play Los Vendidos (1967), by Luis Valdez, and poems by Tino Villanueva, Pat Mora, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and Gary Soto in order to analyze how the authors address the stereotypes applied to U.S. Latinx on a daily basis.
