After continuous transnational migrations to Spain in the last few decades, a second generation of migrants has begun to experience an identity struggle as a result of the tensions between their culture of origin and the prevailing local customs and values. As such, this places them in what is called a third space. Considering the concept of imagined communities as advanced by Benedict Anderson, this dissertation contextualizes the testimonies of women from three migrant origin communities –Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, and China– to understand their way of inclusion and belonging.The study explores the works of Najat El Hachmi, Laila Karrouch, Miriam Hatibi, Lucia Mbomio, Carolina Nve Díaz San Francisco, Desiree Bela-Lobedde and Quan Zhou Wu. It includes fictional narrative, documentary, graphic novel and journalism. The discourse by Moroccan origin authors relates the discrimination that they experience to the tension between the dominant culture and the intersectional feminism with which they identify. Marianne Hirsch’s concept of postmemory enriches the understanding and helps to define the ongoing generational trauma, afropessimism, of women of Equatoguinean origin as a result of their experiences of colonialism and racism. Finally, Chinese-Spanish women write of discrimination in their close circles as a result of being heritage speakers, and also by being subjugated to their male counterparties in the family hierarchy.
