Abstract
The border is an interstitial place of interweaving cultures, languages and identities. Whether migrants cross the borders or remain in border cities, they get in touch each other on a ground that is influenced by this crossing becoming a land of encounters and conflicts, a land of hybridization and perpetual change.
Édouard Glissant, Caribbean, and Carlos Fuentes, Mexican, studied and presented to the world the complex reality of the borders of their native countries. This article wants to propose a comparative analysis of those two wandering identities who lived and explored extremely complicated confines because of their past of colonialism and slavery with which has generated still present serious social-economic consequences.
Both authors have the great merit of having crossed all borders and of having focused international attention on their borders and on their borders people.
