ABSTRACT
Chinese American literature is the product of the interaction between Chinese culture and American culture. The study of Chinese American literature is a positive reaction to its development.
Over the past hundred-odd years, Chinese American literature has developed from being ignored to being concerned, from being marginalized to entering the mainstream. It is a tortuous and stirring process. In this process, a lot of excellent writers emerged. The works of these Chinese American writers, such as Frank Chin, Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan, have made an irreplaceable contributions to the development of Chinese American literature. Chinese American writers have their unique life experiences and cultural environments, thus their works present distinctive visions and writing characteristics.
This thesis will develop its study by using literature research method, the case study method, the exploratory research method and so on. It will first give a brief introduction on Chinese American literature, and then it will introduce several Chinese American writers whose works have great effects on Chinese American literature. Next, the thesis will focus on Frank Chin, a famous Chinese playwright, novelist and social critic, and one of the most influential writers in Chinese American literature. His work Aiiieeeee! An Anthology of Asian-American Writers is considered as a landmark anthology and the catalysis and fundamental anthology of the new Asian American literature consciousness. This part will study his Chinese cultural complex in his works and his influence on Chinese American. The last is a conclusion of the essay.
