MAMITA YUNAI: EXPLORING POSTCOLONIAL TOPICS

Abstract

It explores the presence and role of the concerns proper of post-colonial approaches present in the novel. It comes in evidence, how Mamita Yumai behind this economic politic approach of condemnation, as a global hierarchic context in which its plot is organized, allows us to glimpse the existence of a diversity of ethnic groups, nationalities and identities that converge in an exotic Costa Rica, far away from the one made by the imaginary plateau and that in middle of its anti- imperialist rhetoric, allows us to sense that in the fight against foreign and native plundering won’t be achieved an effective integration of popular forces, if the specific nature and barriers that such diversity implies, are not overcome, respected and comprehended.
