Abstract
Maxine Hong Kingston, the Chinese American woman who is at the double marginality in Chinese traditional culture and American society, makes her voice heard by the world. Based on the post-colonialism theory of cultural translation, this paper aims to analyze Maxine Hong Kingston’s short story No Name Woman from writing strategy. First, the features of cultural translation, and the functions to the novel and to the society, and the background of cultural translation are analyzed through some examples from the short story No Name Woman. Second, the author tries to re-invent Chinese-American identity not only by criticizing the cultural hegemony of the so-called American Orientalist Discourse, but also by asserting the despotic Chinese-American self as a new ethnic entity of cultural translation. Finally, an objective comment on Maxine Hong Kingston’s writing strategy is made. And we can find that Maxine Hong Kingston uses the two-way translation as her writing strategy that she uses to object to the main structure of American culture
