摘　　要：论文从跨国民族主义的分析视角,探讨以黄玉雪、汤亭亭、谭恩美为代表的三代美国华裔女性作家的创作背景,论证她们如何在自身特定的历史文化背景下,在其作品中再现"想象的母国"的形象,以及她们笔下"想象的母国"的故事与美国主流文化关系从迎合到抗争、再到融合的嬗变历程,并为当代华裔女性文学中中华文化、中国故事、中外文化交流与价值共享等研究带来启迪。对于所有的华裔作家而言,身份认同作为民族性的重要构成部分,必须在祖籍国文化与居住国文化的并存与交融中方能实现并发挥效应。唯有如此,才能讲好中国故事,推动跨民族之间的交流。Within 20th century American literature, Chinese-American women writers have played a part in unearthing cultural connotations and displaying Chinese culture to reflect their age, with these writers’ multiple identities, unique perspectives and exquisite writing techniques. From a perspective of transnationalism, this paper examines the background of three generations of Chinese-American women writers represented by Jade Snow Wong, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Amy Tan, and demonstrates how they have reproduced the image of their "imagined motherland" under specific historical and cultural circumstances. The paper also unveils the evolving relationship between the stories of writers’ "imagined motherland" and American mainstream culture, which manifests Chinese women writers’ struggles in adapting and integrating into America. Their experience may enlighten contemporary studies on Chinese culture, ‘China Story’, and cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world.
