This paper examines the multicultural perspective in Willa Cather’s My Ántonia (1918). Cather’s writing mainly focuses on the unique qualities of American life as a melting pot such as the problem of the Americanization of immigrants from the old world and the language policy in a multilingual society. In this fiction, Cather shows the diverse problems that immigrants face including bilingualism and the impact of European culture on American national identity. Cather writes that various immigrants' cultures nurture a unique American character. She stresses the sympathetic and respectful attitude toward the traditions of minority groups. Her resistance to any kind of dualistic oppression in a community, her caring attitude for the ostracized people, and her idea of how people's thinking is shaped by nature makes her one of the leading writers of American character. In My Ántonia, Cather emphasizes that various old world cultures would have a benevolent impact on the future of America. Her writing demonstrates that a heterogeneous, Europeanized Midwestern society could nurture a cosmopolitan culture throughout America. Although Cather's ideal was successful in a limited way, her vision for a multicultural tolerant society cannot be regarded lightly.
Abstract
This paper examines the multicultural perspective in Willa Cather’s My Ántonia (1918). Cather’s writing mainly focuses on the unique qualities of American life as a melting pot such as the problem of the Americanization of immigrants from the old world and the language policy in a multilingual society. In this fiction, Cather shows the diverse problems that immigrants face including bilingualism and the impact of European culture on American national identity. Cather writes that various immigrants' cultures nurture a unique American character. She stresses the sympathetic and respectful attitude toward the traditions of minority groups. Her resistance to any kind of dualistic oppression in a community, her caring attitude for the ostracized people, and her idea of how people's thinking is shaped by nature makes her one of the leading writers of American character. In My Ántonia, Cather emphasizes that various old world cultures would have a benevolent impact on the future of America. Her writing demonstrates that a heterogeneous, Europeanized Midwestern society could nurture a cosmopolitan culture throughout America. Although Cather's ideal was successful in a limited way, her vision for a multicultural tolerant society cannot be regarded lightly.
