Abstract
(type = abstract)
Bicultural theories can help us understand people who experience bicultural or multicultural situations. This is important because a shared cultural understanding will allow us to be more comfortable in our own culture and to adapt to the expectations of others. This process is experienced as a personal journey to recover and stabilize with one‟s own identity. Consequently, some kind of resolution is the outcome. This essay will analyze literature that is written by two culturally diverse authors, Leslie Marmon Silko and Maxine Hong Kingston to learn of the social and cultural consequences of bicultural experience. The protagonists must first understand their own cultural heritage in order to attain ethnic identity. Their conflicts become the basis for selfhood. I will explain how these authors use myths, talk stories, landscape and family to theorize and articulate multicultural identity.
