Abstract
This study reads Kingston’s The Woman Warrior and China Men and Kincaid’s Annie John and Lucy comparatively as postcolonial autobiographical narratives of women of color in America who identify with their home cultures, the Chinese and the Caribbean. The two women, belonging to racial minorities marginalized by the mainstream dominant culture, write from a gendered, racialized position that reflects their understanding of the construction of gender relations and oppression in both the American and their home cultures and their understanding of the historical, social, cultural, sexual, racial, and class complexities of women of color in America. Moreover, both women emphasize an empowering yet smothering mother’s nurturance and seek self-knowledge through autobiographical writing.
