Produktbeschreibung
Writers and playwrights of Asian origin have been
and continue to be active on the stage of Canadian
literary life, expressing the problems, values,
concerns and experiences of their people. This
thesis proposes to analyze two plays of Asian-
Canadian playwrights: The Tale of A Mask by Terry
Watada and Mom, Dad, I m Living with a White Girl by
Marty Chan. The plays discussed in this paper raise
questions regarding the problematic relationship
between the two cultures an Asian-Canadian immigrant
is part of, and the need to integrate both of these
cultures into a personal identity. In these plays
Watada and Chan merge different elements of Canadian
and Asian culture in order to show the difficult
process of finding identity beyond restricting
stereotypes and shallow slogans of multiculturalism.
