This study analyzes the socioeconomic perspective of subjects migrating from the Global South in contemporary narrative works in Romance languages and the influence of the publication context on their literary portrayals. It inquires into the status of the subaltern characters and their role as intermediaries, revealing the diverse, dialectical and postcolonial tensions between reception and production, reality and fiction, North and South.
