What is the advantage of reading from three different perspectives in Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban ?

Answer

It allows the writer to experiment with a variety of different writing styles, as every speaker sounds distinctively different.

It provides the reader with multiple perspectives on the Cuban Revolution and on the differences between life in Cuba and exile in the US.

It breaks up the narrative and prevents the plot line from becoming bogged down in one particular place or time.

The different perspectives underscore the larger idea that immigrants or exiles must shed their native traditions.

Explanation

The novel tells its story through the viewpoints of three women in the same family, whose experiences and beliefs differ. Their perspectives give readers a fuller picture of the Cuban Revolution and of the contrast between life in Cuba and exile in the United States. The viewpoints reveal disagreement and complexity rather than suggesting that exiles must abandon their traditions.
