Borderness in Chicana/o Theater and Native American Oral Tradition at a Crossroads

本研究探讨了奇卡那/奥裔戏剧在文学研究和美国社会中的社会文化意义，发现奇卡那剧作家，尤其是切丽·莫拉加，在“土著”和“边疆”等批判性概念上与美洲原住民分享了土著妇女的传统和文化经验，同时也试图在当代美国社会中找到表达奇卡那种族和性别身份的原始方式。

This study, exploring socio-cultural significance of Chicana/o theater in literary studies and American society, finds that Chicana playwrights, Cherrie Moraga in particular, share indigenous women's tradition and cultural experience with Native Americans in terms of such critical concepts as "indigeneity" and "borderness," while they also attempt to find their original way to express their ethnic and sexual identity of Chicana in contemporary American society.
