摘要
本文从《喜福会》中的“美国梦”主题出发 ,旨在探讨体现在两代华裔身上的东西方文化冲突。东西方不同的文化传统、对生存的不同理解以及华裔在美国社会的处境造成了小说中母女之间的冲突 。
Via a study of American dreams in The Joy Luck Club , this essay discusses the cultural conflicts between the East and the West as manifested by the conflicts between two generations of Chinese Americans in the novel. The paper argues that the different cultural heritages of the East and the West, the different understanding of survival as well as Chinese Americans′ social status in American society are the main causes of the mother daughter conflicts in the novel. The paper concludes that these causes could also be regarded as the root of the cultural conflicts between the East and the West in general.
