Abstract


Chay Yew is a famous Asian writer of America. There are abundant themes and contents about Asian literature in his dramas such as: racial and social discrimination, culture differences and gender politics. A Language of Their Own is one of Chay Yew’s best works. This thesis tries to discuss some deep significance of the author’s special settings of sexual orientation in A Language of Their Own from the aspect of“the other”,“identity recognition”, and“hybridity”in Post-colonialism theory. First of all, Chay Yew subverts the stereotype in Asian American Works. The figure of Asian Americans changed from some kind of stereotype to role model. But Chay Yew gives his figures in the works a quite different setting, overturn the unchangeable character image and totally subvert the stereotype as submissive and accommodating Asian Americans under the influence of hegemonic discourse. Secondly, he advocates the absolute self and entire community’s liberation of Asian and homosexual groups from the double racial and sexual discrimination. Chay Yew calls for seeking one’s own language style in order to recognize individual identity with the symbol of language for those marginal groups. He breaks the hegemony and strives for a definite social identity for vulnerable community. And last, Chay Yew strives for an assimilation of“they”and“we”in the collision of the East and the West. The author advocates constructing a more equal communication system for mutual common benefits, and then finally accomplishing a symbiotic multiple cultural and social community.
