  • Esmeralda Santiago in the marketplace of identity politics María Acosta Cruz Sociología docility stereotypes authenticity market politics Latino identities Esmeralda Santiag o ’s América’s Dream, with its ahistorical subjectivismand idealization of an agrarian past, offers a “Latino” docile Puerto Ricanas the nov e l ’s central protagonist. This article explores the following: themarketability of Latinos, Puerto Rican literary history, and identityformation. Santiago’s nostalgia positions her ideologically within1930s–1950s Puerto Rican writing. Santiag o ’s “te r ruño” presents anarrative model (exclusively working class characters, binary gender roles,an agrarian setting, a disconnection from contemporary culture) thatreinvents the ste r e o t ype of the docile Puerto Rican. América’s Dreamoffers no interplay of hybridity—one of the defining characteristics ofLatino, and Puerto Rican identities. 2006 artículo científico 1538-6279 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37718110 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=377 Centro Journal application/pdf The City University of New York Centro Journal (Estados Unidos de América) Num.1 Vol.XVIII
