Thesis (Ph.D.)--Washington State University, 1996.
My dissertation examines the texts of five American immigrant women writers published since 1965. In that year, legislation radically altered the demographic composition of immigrants and thus affected the authors currently writing within the immigrant literature genre. Simultaneously, developments in feminist, postmodern, postcolonial, and ethnic theories impacted the genre. My study problematizes some of these existing methods of interpretation by developing a theory of multi-layered subjectivities. I explore the articulations of these multiple modes of understanding experience in contemporary immigrant writers from India, Cuba, Antigua, the Dominican Republic, and Vietnam. My goal in this theoretical approach is to reorganize methods of understanding to move beyond the existing paradigms--which rely on conceptions of a cohesive self and a cohesive nation--to a model encompassing the diversity represented by contemporary, immigrant women writers.

The theoretical basis of my dissertation moves from individual to national subjectivities. The initial chapters demonstrate how earlier models of the immigrant genre depend primarily on the assumption that immigrants to the US will ultimately achieve a singular, unitary American identity. My reading of these texts argues that they illustrate the presence of many layers of gendered, racial, and national identities. The novels examined indicate that these labels themselves have multiple definitions for immigrants who have crossed national borders. The remaining chapters turn to the issue of national identity and how the nation's understanding of itself has been formed in response to various immigrant groups. Chantal Mouffe's theory of democratic pluralism frames, in part, this discussion of the multiple layering of positions of power and subordination that confronts new immigrants and "native" Americans alike. In this section I argue that contemporary women immigrant writers' concern with the formation of national subjectivities indicates a rewriting of the traditions of the literary past and pop-cultural present to create new possibilities for articulating the national story about immigration.
