The objective of this dissertation is to analyze The New World Border (1996), by Guillermo Gómez-Peña, and Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza (1987), by Gloria Anzaldúa, in order to show how these writers approach identity matters faced by Chicanos in the US, since it is not easy for them to choose between keeping their traditions and living the American way of life.According to the authors, the mere act of crossing the Mexico/US border alone does not necessarily result in crossing the "frontiers" that really separate these immigrants and their offspring from Americans, that is, the cultural and economic barriers.Nevertheless, the Chicanos fight for the right to be heard.Anzaldúa and Gómez-Peña reveal the power of Chicano hybridism, represented in their experiments with language, writing in English and Spanish, prose and verse, thus emphasizing the rupture of frontiers, including that of literary genres
