Abstract

Immigrants living in different cultures will have to face the situation of re-positioning and re-understanding themselves. With the development of globalization, cultural identity is no longer single and unchanged, but gradually become more autonomous and compatible. Through close reading Mona in the Promised Land by Gish Jen, an American-Chinese writer, and on the basis of Judith Butler's theory of performativity, this paper analyzes the identity performativity carried out by the second generation of Chinese immigrants when seeking for their identity, and emphasizes the autonomy and hybridity of cultural identity.
