Thesis (M.A.)--Carleton University (Canada), 1992.

For much of the twentieth century, Chinese-Canadians have experienced political, economic and social marginalization. As a result of this situation, the group has become silent and invisible in cultural terms, primarily being defined in Canadian literature only by writers outside of the community. These depictions not only reflect outside concerns more than actual ethnic minority experiences, but also shape the Chinese-Canadian identity in terms of outside perceptions. In the 1970's Chinese-Canadians reclaimed a voice in political and cultural terms, and, by narrating their experiences from the position of a subject rather than an object, finally created a contemporary Chinese-Canadian identity and asserted a self-defined existence. An analysis of the images of Chinese-Canadians and Chinese-Canadian writing will reflect changing attitudes towards this group, their position in society, and their attempt to resolve their historically imposed role.
