Abstract (2. Language): 
Comparative Literature which is defined as the study of the literatures of two or more groups differing in cultural background and in language, concentrating on their relationships to and influences upon each other, opens new fields to reframe the most controversial and complicated question of "cultural identity" in multicultural America. In this article, through the study of Chinese-American woman writer Amy Tan's four short stories: Two Kinds, Waiting Between the Trees, Double Face and A Pair of Tickets, taken from her work; The Joy Luck Club and four Chicano short stories:, written by Chicano writers; Lots Rodriguez, Sandra Cisneros, Rosario Magdalena, and Roberta Fernandez, we aim to draw a picture of an essential self and an unessential self in a comparative frame.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Dil ve küllüden farklı iki veya daha fazia grubun edebiyatlarının karşılaştırılması olan karşılaştırmalı edebiyat çok kültürlü Amerika'da "kültürel kimlik" konusunda tartışmalı sorulara yol açmakta, etnik grupların kendi getirdikleri kimlik ile yerleştikleri ve yaşadıkları yerin kimlikleri arasında bocalamalannı anlatmakta ve bu etkileşimi sorgulamaktadır. Bu makalede Çin asıllı Amerikalı yazar Amy Tan'ın The Joy Luck Club romanından alınan dört öykü: Two Kinds, Waiting Between the Trees, Double Face and A Pair of Tickets ve Meksika kökenli dört Çikano yazar: Lois Rodriguez, Patricia Blanco, Alma Luz Villanueva, ve Roberta Fernandez tarafından yazılan dört Çîkano öykü: Rosario Magdaleno, People of the Dog, Sometimes You Dance with a Watermelon, Esmerald ele alınmış ve karşılaştırmalı bir çerçevede öz kimlik ile diğer kimlik arasındaki konumlan irdelenmiştir.
