Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Oregon, 2006.

Although in the twentieth-century, the road---and the democratic values it implies---may have supplanted Frederick Jackson Turner's passing frontier as the space where one may seek individual and national identity, like the frontier, the road's supposedly limitless opportunity continues to be severely restricted for women and for people of color. The ongoing gender, class, and racial privilege that persists in the trope of the cross-country road trip, and that has been fundamental to Anglo-American identity, historically excludes women and people of color, and racial authority still overwhelmingly permits mobility. However, recent "minority" writers have begun to appropriate the road trip narrative in novels and poems about the growing diversity of twentieth-century United States identity. My dissertation explores the often contradictory ways Bharati Mukherjee, Oscar Zeta Acosta, and Sandra Cisneros employ the road trip as a narrative of expansion and liberation. Because travel and mobility are instrumental in racialized social processes, it is necessary to explore the ways these writers have used the road trip to track and, ultimately, to challenge, those systems of exclusion. My methodologies are historical and formal.
