The voice of diversity: Picture brides and masked individuality in Julie Otsuka’s The Buddha in the Attic
TL;DR: The authors examines how Otsuka's use of the first-person plural "we" narration and self-mimicry locates Japanese American femininity and agency at the historical confluence of imperialist and assimilationist dynamics, and argues that the novel's stylistics make visible not only a collective minority consciousness, but also the complex subjectivity of picture brides in a transnational space of diasporic negotiation, social masking and situational coalition.
