Abstract "This work examines twentieth-century literary portrayals of Spanish immigration to the United States (1900-1950) through six novels: Chromos (1948), Windmills in Brooklyn (1953), Fiesta: A Novel of Modern Spain (1960), Pinnick Kinnick Hill (2003), The Lower East Side Kid That Made It Good (2008), and Las hijas del Capitán (2018). These books offer a broad picture of Spanish immigrants' experiences as they navigate new realities, balancing their Spanish heritage with American culture. The analysis focuses on how these characters' identities evolve through history, language, and cultural shifts. Using transculturation, hybridization, and Third Space identity theory, the study explores the transformation of Spanish immigrants in various times and places. This volume includes a theoretical framework, a historical overview of the Spanish community in the United States, and examinations of memory, language, and cultural assimilation in the texts, highlighting the stages of immigrant identity transformation"-- Provided by publisher.
