Divakaruni & Laviera: Ethnic Poetry

Abstract: A 5 page analysis of two poems, 'Indian Movie, New Jersey' by Chitra Divakaruni and 'AmeRican' by Tato Laviera. Both poems address the poets' ethnic origins and both offer a perspective of American culture that originates from their experience as members of minorities within mainstream American culture. While they have these factors in common, there are also distinct differences between their points of view. No additional sources cited.
