Abstract
One of the most relevant aspects of the 20th century, which
we continue to witness in the 21st century, is the emergence
of the reclaiming of memory. This is mainly due to the fact
that the past century served as the arena for numerous social
convulsions and transformations (two world wars, the Civil
Rights Movement, dictatorships, decolonization etc.).
Testimonial literature is part of a body of textualities that,
besides allowing for the knowledge of alternative histories,
are ethically committed to the communities they represent.
Through these testimonial narratives, memory is reclaimed
and contested histories are foregrounded. In the works
analyzed in this thesis, we will become acquainted with the
stories of undocumented Mexican immigrants and the
complex border relation between Mexico and the U.S. In this
way, the study presented here proposes to undertake the task
of understanding the historical and cultural processes which
define Mexican-Anglo relations.
