Abstract
This work aims at discussing the fictional representation of Latin- American immigrants in the novel How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents, by Julia Alvarez. This discussion will be especially based on the impact of immigration on Alvarez’s women characters and the development of their hyphenated identity in the U.S. For this, the paper will also consider the language issue for the construction of the immigrant identity insofar as bilingualism is a key factor in the negotiation the Garcia girls must effect between their Latino and their North-American halves to understand where they stand.
