The paper takes Candra Cisneros' epic semi-biographical novel Caramelo asa literary insight into dynamics between generations within a single ethnic (Chicano) community, and compares it against classics of the genre in its shifting definition of one's ethnic identity; here the postmodern approach of entwining fiction and fact and awarding them equallegitimacy mirrors the possibility of embracing multiple identities, as exemplified by the novel's protagonist.
