Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject American Studies - Literature, printed single-sided, grade: 2 (B), University of Aberdeen (English Department), course: Chicano Fiction, 9 entries in the bibliography, language: English, comment: Study of mexican-american identity with two books and authors: Tomás Rivera "...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him" and Richard Rodriguez: "Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez." , abstract: In this essay, I will address the question of Chicano identity by investigating two very different texts, that both deal with a quest for identity in a Mexican-American context: Tomás Rivera s ...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him and Richard Rodriguez Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez. I will first discuss the contextual differences between the two works. Then I will consider the definitions of identity upon which the texts are based. Going deeper into the works themselves, I will finally discuss along which lines the two quests for identity develop. In conclusion, I will connect my investigations to the question of whether Chicano identity is unified or fragmented.§§Both Tomás Rivera s ...And the Earth Did Not Devour Him and Richard Rodriguez Hunger of Memory are about an individual searching for his identity. In both works, the protagonist is a Mexican-American or Chicano . However, the differences between the two books are huge. The generic difference is most obvious: Rivera s work is a fictional narrative, which Héctor Calderón termed novel-as-tales .1 Rodriguez, referring to his book, speaks of [e]ssays impersonating an autobiography (p. 7). This entails that the subject searching for identity is, in Rodriguez case, the author himself, or rather his literary image. In Rivera s case, the subject is purely fictional, although some critics have identified this literary subject with the author.
