Description

Voices of Marginality is theoretically grounded within the theology of the diaspora, which consistent with Fernando F. Segovia has been forged within the migratory experience of American Hispanics. This theological point of view views Judean exiles (587 B.C.E.) and recent Mexican migrants as a part of a recurring diasporic human experience. The existing analysis «reads across» from the exile and return envisioned within the poetry of Second Isaiah (40-55) to the corridos (ballads) about Mexican immigration to the USA. More specifically, the diasporic categories of exile and return in Second Isaiah inform our reading of exile and return within the Mexican immigrant corridos. Conversely, the rhetorical ability of these corridos to transmit a collective Mexican identity for immigrants in the USA provides a compelling lens for working out the pictures of exile and return in Second Isaiah. In the long run, both literary productions reflect voices of marginality.
