There is much from which to choose. On one hand, I think
that the discussion of culture from the point of view of the mother and the daughters is
extremely important. This is something that allows the reader to see multicultural
values discussed and highlighted through both points of view. I would also suggest that
seeing how the American daughters view their Chinese mothers is another example of
multiculturalism being present. In this light, one sees how the modern definition and
parameters of culture are applied to a traditional one. The idea in multiculturalism is
to examine and observe the presence of difference in cultural perception. We see this
in Tan's work through the discussion of both sets of values. Finally, I would also
suggest that mutliculturalism examines how different notions of identity play out in the
lives of the individual. Race and ethnicity are a part of this, but how race and
ethnicity impact gender and other considerations can also fit in the definition of
multiculturalism. In this light, Tan's work is representative because it seeks to
assess what it means to be a woman in both Chinese culture and the Chinese- American
notion of cultural identity.
