Harris, Allison N.
- Abstract
The article focuses on Julia Alvarez's novel "How the García Girls Lost Their Accents" and examines the psycho-linguistic subject formation of immigrant characters, particularly Yolanda, as they transition between their natal linguistic system and a new one. Topics include the failure of hybridity in immigrant subject formation, the role of language in shaping identity, and the necessity of translating psycho-linguistic subjectivity in the immigrant experience.
