In both literary texts, the girl narrators are fascinated by American author Laura Ingalls Wilder's narrative of continuous displacement and re-settlement, Lattle House on the Prairie (1935), and they both become equally disillusioned by the racial and ethnic gaps that make it impossible for them to become true Laura Ingalls in their respective environments. This article attempts to assess the influence of this classic pioneer narrative of (internal) migration on the perception of racialization of these two Asian migrants to North America, on their own critical evaluation of the racism in Ingalls Wilder's texts and on the consequent process of construction of racialized subjectivities by Goto's and Nguyen's narrators. The Kappa Child (2001), de la autora canadiense de origen japonés Hiromi Goto y Stealing Buddah's Dinner (2007), de la autora de origen vietnamita Bich Minh Nguyen, ofrecen narrativas de infancia de niñas asiáticas que crecen en Norteamérica en las décadas pre-multiculturales de los años 70 y 80, cuando la palabra étnico no estaba aún de moda y la asimilación a la cultura blanca dominante era el mayor deseo de cualquier niña. En ambos textos literarios, las narradoras están fascinadas por la historia de continuo desplazamiento y reemplazamiento de La casa de la pradera, de la autora estadounidense Laura Ingalls Wilder (1935), y ambas se sumen en la misma desilusión debido a la distancia racial y étnica que hace imposible que ellas se conviertan en auténticas Lauras en sus respectivos contextos. Este artículo intenta evaluar la influencia de esta narrativa clásica de migración pionera (interna) en la percepción de su raríalización por parte de dos inmigrantes asiáticas en Norteamérica, su propia valoración crítica del racismo en los textos de Ingalls Wilder y el consecuente proceso de construcción de las subjetividades racializadas de las narradoras de Goto y Nguyen. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Literary Criticism src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Atlantis (0210-6124) is the property of Departament de Llengues i Literatures Modernes i d'Estudis Anglesos and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
