Abstract
The article analyzes the novel Algum lugar (2009) by Paloma Vidal to perceive, in the relationship of the main character with the city of Los Angeles, reflections of global movements such as imperialism, immigration, and the construction of hyphenated identities. Her walk along unknown streets is a highly significant gesture, because it is a form of appropriation, as a woman and an immigrant, of the traditionally exclusionary space of the city. The article also discusses the experience of women in the diaspora and possibilities for transnational feminism.
