PEREIRA, Margarida Esteves. «This is my home»: the intersection between race and gender in Monica Ali’s Brick Lane and in Sarah Gavron’s film. []. , 19, pp.71-85. ISSN 0874-5560.

This essay aims at questioning the representation of identity from the dual perspective of race and gender, assuming in its analysis that the intersection between the two variants is fundamental. The article takes into consideration that gender is an important variant that may introduce changes in the way we view multicultural integration within western societies. The novel Brick Lane, by Monica Ali, as well as the film under the same title by Sarah Gavron will serve as our objects of analysis in this discussion.
