Dissertation

English Lessons: Racial Hegemony and Linguistic Hierarchies in Selected Asian American Lite

Committee: Ketu H. Katrak, Chair; Susan C. Jarratt; John M. Liu.

This project is a comparative and multidisciplinary study of the intersection of racialization and linguistic hierarchies as  represented in selected Asian American writings. This study includes a discussion of Li-Young Lee's Rose, Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker, Lois-Ann Yamanaka's Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers, and Lee A. Tonouchi's Da Word. I argue that the tendency towards English monolingualism in the history of the United States must be understood as implicated in racial power and racial hegemony, and that resistance to and critique of such trends must also always be conscious of replicating and reproducing structures of inequality.
