From a postcolonial perspective, the diverse means through which Pilar attempts to return to Cuba after decades of involuntary exile are analyzed and discussed. Therefore, dreams, spirituality and the physical return to the geographic space of the homeland are approached as attempts to reconnect to the essence of her fragmented identity which, in Pilar’s case, was affected by the disruptive power of her family’s exile. Finally, it is concluded that these diverse means to reconnect to her roots highlight her intercultural hybridity as a completely liberating and empowering component of her identity. El presente trabajo explora la aceptación de la hibridez intercultural a través del retorno a la patria como paso fundamental para la reconstrucción de la identidad en el personaje de Pilar en Soñar en cubano (1992) de Cristina García. Desde una perspectiva poscolonial, se analizan y discuten las diferentes formas a través de las cuales Pilar intenta regresar a Cuba luego de casi una vida de exilio involuntario. De esta manera, se abordan los sueños, la espiritualidad y el regreso físico al espacio geográfico de la patria como intentos de reconectarse a la esencia de su identidad fragmentada que, en el caso de Pilar, le fue arrebatada a los dos años por la fuerza disruptiva del exilio de su familia. Se concluye, además, que estas diversas formas de reconectarse a sus raíces resaltan su hibridez intercultural como un elemento completamente liberador y potenciador de su identidad.
