Mexican-American Relations and T.C. Boyle's "Tortilla Curtain"

Examination Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Marburg, language: English, abstract: The main goal of this paper is to address the question if there is any type of socio-historical narrative surrounding the state of Mexicans in the United States that might have developed from the very beginnings of Mexican-American relations up to contemporary US society and, further, might find its expression in contemporary American literature, using the example of "The Tortilla Curtain".

Most major works dealing with Mexican-American relations and the state of Mexicans within US society focus on specific time periods or address specific contemporary socioeconomic issues of immigration and immigrants, but rather lack a comprehensive view that might combine the different strands and lead to a widely spanning narrative about Mexican immigrants in US society. In general, I will try to develop a narrative that follows the overall course of events in Mexican-American history, which chapter two will comprise.

Chapter three will look at the specific history of Mexican immigration to the United States and will then provide an overview of the contemporary situation of immigrants. Subsequently, chapter four aims to merge the findings of chapters two and three and examine contemporary literary expressions in Boyle's "The Tortilla Curtain". Out of the many aspects to be found within the novel, I will mainly focus on those relevant in sociological ter
