About Israel

Israel earned his M.A. from North Carolina State University, where he wrote a thesis on the subversive perspectives of Mexican society as depicted by contemporary Mexican women writers.

Israel now works on the rich and often underexplored narratives offered by immigrant writers, adopting a transatlantic approach. He analyzes how these immigrant narratives, particularly those emerging from transatlantic experiences, challenge and redefine traditional gender roles and cultural identities. Israel's work is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature, drawing from fields such as gender studies, migration studies, and cultural theory. He offers a unique perspective on how immigrant writers use their craft not only as a form of self-expression but also as a means to negotiate and reconstruct their identities in the face of cross-cultural dynamics.
