Abstract
The narrative hybridity created by Cristina García in her novel, Dreaming in Cuban, presents an ontological parallelism with Latina women´s imagined identity production. Starting from a spatial displacement illustrated though a three-face journey from Cuba to New York, and accomplished by three generations of women from the same family, Dreaming in Cuban problematizes the subjectivity fragmentation implicit to a space of perpetual borderland, and explores the contingency of belonging to a space other. These aspects are portrayed in the linguistic use of English and Spanish as vehicles of identity performance.

La hibridez narrativa creada por Cristina García en su obra Dreaming in Cuban plantea un paralelismo ontológico con la producción identitaria imaginada de las mujeres latinas en Estados Unidos. A partir de un desplazamiento espacial ilustrado en el viaje escalonado desde Cuba hacia Nueva York, y realizado por las componentes de tres generaciones de una misma familia, Dreaming in Cuban proble matiza la fragmentación de subjetividades implícita en un espacio de per-
petuidad fronteriza, y explora la contingencia de la pertenencia a un espacio otro. Estos aspectos se reflejan en el uso lingüístico del inglés y el español como vehículos de performance identitaria.
