- Title
Monodramas for a Multiculture: Performing New Zealand Chinese Identities in Lynda Chanwai-Earle's Ka Shue/Letters Home.
- Authors
Calleja, Paloma Fresno
- Abstract
The article contends that the dramatic features of the melodrama "Ka Shue/Letters of Home," by Lynda Chanwai-Earle, can be perceived in light of broader social debates that influence both the New Zealand Chinese community and the multicultural fabric of New Zealand society. The author believes the play reflects New Zealand's cultural diversity and generates debates about how that difference has to be valued and incorporated. The main thematic and structural features of the play are discussed.
