Produktbeschreibung
This researcher traces the evolution of the role of
the mother in immigrant women s writing through the
20th century. It begins with Anzia Yezierska s Bread
Givers where the mother figure is passive yet manages
to force the daughter to conform to the role of
traditional caregiver for her father. As the century
progresses, the mother becomes a stronger and more
controlling figure. In Maxine Hong Kingston s The
Woman Warrior and Amy Tan s The Joy Luck Club mothers
the mother characters struggle to control the lives
of their daughter. In Bharati Mukherjee s Jasmine,
the main character reinvents the role of mother.
Finally, Ursula Hegi s Floating in My Mother s Palm
presents the reader with a mother who no longer
controls but allows her daughter the freedom to
become her own person.
