Both poems explore the intersection between hospitality, power, and inequality, highlighting the power differentials at play beneath relationships of hospitality. Hospitality appears in the two poems as a cover-up for marginalization and exploitation, the exclusion of migrants and postmigrants, and the subjugation of women through norms of self-sacrifice.

Tots dos poemes exploren la intersecci6 entre hospitalitat, poder i desigualtat, i incideixen en el diferencial de poder que subjau a tota relaci6 d'hospitalitat. L'hospitalitat apareix en aquests dos poemes com una fai;ana que oculta la marginalitzaci6 i I' explotaci6, I' exclusi6 dels migrants i postmigrants i la submissi6 de !es dones a traves de formes d' autosacrifici. No obstant aixo, tots dos poemes revindiquen tambe l'hospitalitat i ofereixen formes textuals de generositat i cura, o una mena d'hospitalitat poetica, en la manera en que acullen diferents veus, lectors, i histories.Este articulo explora las conexiones entre hospitalidad y poder en dos poemas escritos por las autoras Chicanas contemporaneas Pat Moray Sandra Cisneros, y reflexiona sobre c6mo ambos denuncian la complicidad de ciertos discursos y practicas hospitalarias con la opresi6n y la exclusion. Ambos poemas exploran la intersecci6n entre hospitalidad, poder y desigualdad, e inciden en el diferencial de poder que subyace a toda relaci6n de hospitalidad. La hospitalidad aparece en estos dos poemas como una fachada que oculta la marginalizaci6n y la explotaci6n, la exclusion de los migrantes y posmigrantes y la sumisi6n de las mujeres a traves de formas de autosacrificio.
