mothers deal with hybrid identity, to observe how their daughters deal with hybrid
identity, and to reveal the cultural clash that occurs between the mothers and the
daughters.
This research is a qualitative research in which content analysis is used to
analyze Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. The objects of this research are sentences
and phrases from the novel The Joy Luck Club, whether it is stated in the
dialogues or narration regarding the issues of hybridity and cultural clash. The
data were collected through close reading and rereading technique towards the
novel The Joy Luck Club in reference to the focus of the research. There were
three steps applied in analyzing the data; they are classifying the data, interpreting
the data, and making conclusions. Finally, to prove the validity of the data,
triangulation technique was used.
There are three important points in this research. First, because the mothers
were raised in Chinese way, their ways in dealing with hybrid identity are
influenced by Chinese culture more. Those ways are maintaining Chinese origin,
preserving Chinese values, preserving Chinese beliefs, being different from
American people, and being influenced by American culture. Second, the
daughters were raised inside the American society so their ways in dealing with
hybrid identity are influenced by American culture more. Those ways are ignoring
Chinese values, denying Chinese origin, maintaining American way of thinking,
ignoring Chinese language, and accepting Chinese origin. Third, because of the
cultural difference between them, the mothers and daughters often experience
cultural clash. The most dominant fields of cultural clashes found in The Joy Luck
Club are in rearing system, education and career, and partner selection.ALITIYANI EDITA RINA
