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.
