In The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisneros probes into Latino Americans’ collective identity and Latinas’ gender identity, where space is treated as a dynamic with its own realistic and political orientation in identity construction. With Mango Street as its setting, the work illustrates the representation of space by various dominant groups to reveal the mechanism of space in identity construction. In order to construct their ethnic and gender identity, Latina women writers such as Cisneros attempt to subvert the mainstream space discourse that has led to social confrontation and oppression.
