Abstract
Abstract : Emerging identity focuses much of the study of what is called ethnic literature. Characteristic to this study, is defining the specificities of experience unique to a particular ethnic group carving out its niche in the American identity. While evaluating these specificities is valuable to productive understanding of ethnic texts, their placement as texts serves an important role in accurate contextualization of the issues the texts confront. It is on such a basis that comparative critique of ethnic texts serves the scholarship surrounding these texts and that I position this paper. Reading Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye and Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street in a comparative context allows an investigation of parallel identity issues that are represented through cultural specificity.
