Abstract

Even though Cisneros, Hong Kingston and Mukherjee bring about comparable circumstances in their literary search for a creation of an American identity as a result of their racial and female marginality, in their fragmentarily displayed first person narratives they make use of different literary strategies in a journey to self because of their diverse cultural backgrounds and consequently represent the larger discussion on the multicultural diversities of the American identity.

Keywords
