Mis Muertos Están Conmigo [My Dead Are With Me]

An Autoethnographic Text on Racialization, Identity, and Memory

Mariolga Reyes Cruz

Universidad de Puerto Rico en Cayey

In this autoethnographic text, the author explores multiple voices that have shaped her racialized identity throughout her life across various sociohistorical-personal contexts. As a performance text, it challenges static categorical notions of identity by showing how identity processes are intertwined with lived experiences of racialization, ethnicization, genderization, and the (re)interpretation of personal memories.

Key Words: autoethnography • performance ethnography • Latino/a racial identity • Latino/a ethnic identity • immigration experience
