This paper proposes to explore the construction of the masculine identity of the characters of Drown (1996) and of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) by Junot Díaz. The male characters of both texts oscillate between the rejection and the appropriation of roles and expectations for the masculine subject both in the United States of America and in the Dominican Republic. This paper will analyze the discourse of culture in the construction of masculinity. Michael Leach en su artículo “The Politics of Masculinity: An Overview of Contemporary Theory” sostiene que, al igual que la femineidad, la masculinidad opera políticamente en diferentes niveles, como una forma de identidad o como una forma de ideología. La masculinidad puede ser vista como una forma de ideología al presentar un conjunto de valores y expectativas para y de los hombres. Este trabajo propone explorar la construcción de la identidad masculina en los personajes de Drown (1996) y de The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007), de Junot Díaz. Los personajes masculinos de ambos textos se mueven entre el rechazo y la aceptación de los roles y expectativas para el sujeto masculino tanto en los Estados Unidos como en la República Dominicana. En este trabajo se analizará el discurso de la cultura en la construcción de la masculinidad.
