"Biculturalism and Exile"

Recent Immigration trends to the United States have rapidly changed and modified the meaning of exile. In the article "Feminist Literary Theory and Criticism" by Gloria Anzaldua, Anzaldua clearly demonstrates that exile can be felt in one's own homeland, and as a result of biculturalism. She touches on the difficulty that arises when a person has to try to blend in, into two different cultures, and not feel like he/she is betraying or hurting either one of the cultures.
The article by Anzaldua is quite striking, because it seems to hint that biculturalism creates a double exile and longing feeling. The writing itself seems to reflect that mixed and double exile feeling (a new feeling that is the result of those immigration trends) throughtout the article there is a constant stomping in the punctuation, and the obvious use of English, Spanish and Mexican slang create this feeling of dualism and difficulty.
Also, she brings up another interesting point that, combines the feeling of exile that Said talks about and the "companionship" or diaspora feeling that Durham talks about. Even though Anzaldua continously points out that "ambiguity"in cultures and feelings are a difficult matter, she hints that this new culture may be able to embrace both feelings, and therefore needs to be recognized.
