---

ABSTRACT

Migration is considered as a massive impact of colonization. It causes a huge
number of people from a certain country (a colonized ones) move to another country
due to colonization. Starting from this, usually a new society consists of mixed
culture, norms, values adjusted to the altering of citizens (migrants and non-migrants)
has been created. Yet, an issue of one’s identity appear for those who come from the
two cultures as it appeared in Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. Jing-Mei Woo, a
Chinese-born American had issue of defining her identity due to the hybridity
circumstance she achieved as the daughter of immigrant parents. This research aimed
to examine the portrayal of hybridity Jing-Mei Woo’s identity and the way she
developed her hybrid identity. This research was a qualitative research for the
analysis on words from The Joy Luck Club novel. Barry’s theory about hybrid
identity was used to answer the research questions toward Jing-Mei Woo character.
The result showed that Jing-Mei Wooexperienced hybridity as she was unable
to define herself whether it was her past-self (Chinese) or present-self (American),
felt out of place not knowing exactly her identity form, and having the hybrid identity
between Chinese and American culture. While, during the process, Jing-Mei Woo
developed her hybrid identity by getting through the four stages: she ignored her
origin’s identity as a Chinese woman, denying her Chinese identity by telling her
mother most of times that she was not a Chinese and that was the reason she could
not understand a bit about her mother’s culture, maintaining the American’s way of
thinking as she thought that was her identity despite the fact that she was also a
Chinese, and finally realizing that in order to define herself, she accepted her Chinese
blood and admitted her hybrid identity as a Chinese-American woman.
