Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to show in Rojo, amarillo y verde, the novel by Alejandro Saravia, the experience of a Latin American exiled in Canada during the 1980´s. This experience is revealed in this novel in relation to the tradition of Myth and Archive in Latin American literature, using the works of Roberto González Echevarría as a theoretical base. Special emphasis is given to the challenges the storyline faces in order to show how, through polyphony, the characters outline the changing features of their identity in Canada. This identity is distant from the essentialism of the 19th century, which was supported by a series of stereotypical national symbols, such as the flag, the coat of arms, the anthem and one´s nationality. This notion of an integral and shared commonality is now under challenge by the in-between identity found in the cultural frontiers of nations and by the increasing process of transculturation.
