| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, is the memoirs of a Chinese American girl caught between two cultures, struggling to construct her identity. Through examining several factors such as ethnicity, nationality, immigration, silence, and discursive community, this thesis shows how these aspects influenced the creation of the writer‘s identity as a Chinese immigrant in America. The intersection of these factors creates an individual identity for all characters. This analysis leads to the conclusion that, within the boundaries of the memoir, it is easier to be a child of Chinese immigrants in the USA than an immigrant yourself. The narrator eventually prospers as a Chinese American woman in the American society, despite the difficulties that she encountered in her life. Using the psychoanalytical theory, in analyzing the theme of constructing identity, this thesis is divided into two main chapters, the former presents a general overview about Asian American literature and ethnic and Chinese autobiography. While, the latter is dedicated to analyze the process of shaping identity and factors related it. | en_US |
