A great example of this issue is displayed in the novel‚ The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao‚ by Junot Díaz. The female characters of Junot Diaz’s novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao‚ La Inca‚ Beli‚ and Lola‚ demonstrate the ways in which colonialism led to the dehumanization of citizens‚ especially women‚ and how these power dynamics carry over into modern society in relationships
