Voices of Marginality is theoretically grounded in the theology of
the diaspora, which according to Fernando F. Segovia has been
forged in the migratory experience of American Hispanics. This
theological perspective views Judean exiles (587 B.C.E.) and
contemporary Mexican migrants as part of a recurring diasporic
human experience. The present analysis «reads across from the exile
and return envisioned in the poetry of Second Isaiah (40-55) to the
corridos (ballads) about Mexican immigration to the United States.
More specifically, the diasporic categories of exile and return in
Second Isaiah inform our reading of exile and return in the Mexican
immigrant corridos. Conversely, the rhetorical ability of these
corridos to transmit a collective Mexican identity for immigrants
in the United States provides a compelling lens for understanding
the images of exile and return in Second Isaiah. Ultimately, both
literary productions reflect voices of marginality.
