Description
This study examines the significance of the American dream in American ethnic drama. In August Wilsons The Piano Lesson, Frank Chins The Chickencoop Chinaman, and Luis Valdezs Zoot Suit, the African American, Chinese American, and Hispanic American playwrights rearticulate the definition of the American dream for American minority peoplesto rectify their internalized distorted self-image, to implant self-esteem, and to earn the due respect from whites and others. These plays also call for a coalition or solidarity within and among minority groups to struggle against socio-economical exploitation and racial discrimination.
