Miamiando: Performing Cubanness in the Time of Elián in Jennine Capó’s Make Your Home Among Strangers
This essay scrutinizes the 2015 debut novel Make Your Home Among Strangers, written by Cuban American writer Jennine Capó Crucet. Through the methodology of textual analysis, it aims to critically examine and demonstrate how this novel center on the process of shaping and re-shaping one’s constructed identity in its intersections with a complex web of traditions, history, immigration, politics, power struggles, place and displacement, socio economic and class determinants. Guided by J. Butler and J. Blocker’s ideas on performativity, the essay posits that Cuban “exiles” occupy their exile “as a discursive position” to create and stage an identity. It examines the intersectional performativity of being Cuban in the United States, and the power/identitarian struggles of claiming Cubanness, as presented by Capó Crucet in her excellent first novel.
