Chinese Canadian women’s acculturation experience: Sky Lee’s Disappearing Moon Cafe

Abstract

While dealing with Chinese Canadian experience, the present study emphasises an idea of broader significance that the acculturation of immigrants always depends on the interaction of several cultural and social aspects. This thesis aims to provide a thorough understanding of the Chinese Canadian acculturation process on the basis of Sky Lee’s Disappearing Moon Cafe. The thesis focuses on the first three generations of Chinese immigrant women in Canada and tackles the factors that influence their acculturation into the host society.
