FAMILY ALBUM
A fiction by Claribel Alegria
POLITICAL
CONTEXT
● She was seven when the massacre of 1932
in where Maximiliano Hernandez Martinez
killed 30,000 people. She had swore that
one day she would write down everything
she had witnessed.
● In 1980 Alegria moved to Nicaragua, where
she worked on behalf of the Salvadoran
people.
CULTURAL
CONTEXT
● Alegria produced diverse works of poetry,
fiction, biography, and history, yet her work
remained untranslated until 1978
● She studied at George Washington
University in Washington, D.C.during the
1940s and became one of the first Central
American women to obtain a university
degree.
HISTORICAL
CONTEXT
● Claribel was born in 1924 in Nicaragua
● Alegría was taken to El Salvador at age one
● Takes place during the 1979 Revolution
throughout her childhood
● Places ; Paris, Deya (Mallorca)
POINT OF VIEW Throughout the three separate stories in the
fiction “Family Album” majority of it is told in
the 3rd person POV although there are a few
transitions where Claribel goes into the first
person and explains the supernatural and
natural world she lives in.
The mood of Family Album is very unique to me I
have never seen stories with such authenticity
about her life with her family and everything that
gives the story its double beauty of reality and
imagination. The overall mood of the stories is
hopefulness and vitality.
