Research Abstract |
The purpose of the research is to examine the relationship between ethnicity and environmental imagination. The portrayal of American nature and landscape in Asian American literature is closely connected with Asian American immigrant history, and their ethnicity is represented as a sense of belonging to their community. Ethnicity and environmental imagination are cultivated in a communal space and a specific history.
