论文从华美女性文学的源头水仙花的命运开始追溯,并对黄玉雪、汤亭亭、谭恩美和任碧莲等的多部文学作品作历时解读,充分显示华美女作家在以笔为剑,透过文字,一方面表达对性别、种族身份的政治诉求,一方面应对来自族裔内部的批评,透过作品平衡各种矛盾和冲突,不断梳理中国文化与白人主流文化的关系、华裔女性性别身份与种族身份之间的关系、华裔内部民族中心主义者的批评等一系列与身份政治相关的问题,充分显示华美女作家在以文学实现其文化政治身份重建过程中的不懈努力和艺术天赋。

This paper traces, from the late 19th century, different literary strategies and destinies of Ameriean Chinese women writers realizing their political ambitions to reconstruct American Chinese identity politics, involving some works by writers of different generations, like Huang Yuxue, Tang Tingting and Tan Enmei, etc. Further analyses of challenges from ethnic internality related to the issues of gender and ethnic identity have virtually brought prominent reputation for American Chinese women authors after the Civil Right Movement in America and have initiated their probe into literature art beyond identity politics.
