Publication Empowering interstitial spaces and intersectionality in the writings of Judith Ortiz Cofer(2018) Santiago Ramos, Eyla M.; Irizarry RodrÃguez, José M.; College of Arts and Sciences - Art; Haydock, Nickolas; Román Pérez, Rosa I.; Department of English; Carrero Figueroa, RebeccaThis study contains a critical analysis of Judith Ortiz Cofer‟s selected works. It offers a portrayal of a voice in the diaspora that successfully transcends the voice of victimization and empowers the uncertain position of minorities within the binaries of place, space and gender while depicting a unique Puerto Rican experience. This thesis examines how Ortiz Cofer‟s constant circular migration allows her not only to empower a voice in several interstitial spaces, but also, to represent how the individual deals with such spaces.
