Abstract

This study attempts to discuss issues raised from the novel The Bonesetter's Daughter written by Amy Tan. The novel portrays an intercultural relationship between Ruth Young, a Chinese American woman, and Art, an American man. In their relationship, there are contestations due to their cultural differences. The issue that will be discussed in this study is the portrayal of cultural differences between Chinese and American culture that result in the discriminative acts done by Art and his family toward Ruth as a Chinese American woman. Besides, this study also explains about the understanding process that the main character, Ruth, has to undergo to finally understand about her own cultural background. In analyzing the issues, the writer uses a qualitative method by elaborating dialogues, events, and conflicts in the novel and applies the theory which is suitable to the discussion. Therefore, the writer uses the theory of post colonialism, mainly suggested by Homi Bhabha, one of the major post colonialists.
