- W1582568444 abstract "Sandra Cisneros’s most recent novel, Caramelo, has received little critical attention thus far, and none of which examines mother-daughter themes. By highlighting the maternal relationships in this novel, my paper will add to current mother-daughter literary criticism. In addition, very little scholarship has investigated maternal themes in Chicana literature, marking my paper as what I hope to be a valuable contribution in an under-studied field. The daughter in Cisneros’s novel, Celaya Reyes, refuses to model herself after her mother, and it is only by reclaiming the mother that the daughter may gain insight into her own life. Celaya’s identity is closely tied to her status as her mother’s daughter, despite her oppositional stance to what her mother represents, namely tradition and a seeming complicity with sexism within the family and Mexican culture. I argue that Celaya’s rejection of her mother stems from her attempt to resist patriarchal family dynamics and to a greater extent, the rampant patriarchy of the Mexican social structure; that is, she rejects aligning herself with her mother, as she believes she can become more than her mother, more than “simply” a wife, daughter-in-law, and mother, roles a Mexican woman is destined to be. A part of this identity-formation involves reclaiming her paternal grandmother; Celaya’s narration of her grandmother’s story grants her (and subsequently, her mother) subjectivity and a valid, non-marginalized role within the family. Can telling her grandmother’s story shed light on Celaya’s own mother-daughter conflict and thus heal the wounds that mother and daughter inflict upon each other? Can the act of narrating a maternal story humanize and reclaim the mothers in her family and simultaneously offer an opportunity for Celaya to engage in self-formation? These are significant questions the novel posits, which I intend to discuss." @default.
