Following the theory that identity is an internalized life story coauthored by individuals and culture for unity and purpose, this study solicited life narratives from twelve first-generation Vietnamese immigrant women to observe the ways in which cultural and religious repertoires inform narrative self construction. In open-ended interviews, the central guiding question was: If you were to share about your life as though it were a story, where and how would you begin? Other leading questions were asked according to categories of autobiographical info, gender and ethnic concepts, religious concepts, significant cultural and religious narratives, and life themes. The faith traditions and denominations represented include Buddhist, Catholic, mainline Protestant, evangelical, and charismatic/pentecostal.

520 $a Following the theory that identity is an internalized life story coauthored by individuals and culture for unity and purpose, this study solicited life narratives from twelve first-generation Vietnamese immigrant women to observe the ways in which cultural and religious repertoires inform narrative self construction. In open-ended interviews, the central guiding question was: If you were to share about your life as though it were a story, where and how would you begin? Other leading questions were asked according to categories of autobiographical info, gender and ethnic concepts, religious concepts, significant cultural and religious narratives, and life themes. The faith traditions and denominations represented include Buddhist, Catholic, mainline Protestant, evangelical, and charismatic/pentecostal.
520 $a The life narratives constructed are analyzed according several narrative elements: narrative approaches (the way each interviewee began and framed her life story); narrative quality; narrative tone; self-defining and turning-point narratives; and commitment narratives. Major themes pertaining to gender, religious, and self concepts are discussed in conjunction with narrative elements. With regard to gender, it is observed that what the interviewees believe about gender roles and responsibilities and what they actually live by are imbued with ambiguities and contradictions, and yet there seems to be a necessary integration of paradoxes---fueled by cultural and religious ideologies and by generative concerns for the next generation---for daily living amidst extreme exigencies, such that life is lived with a sense of "direction, vitality, and followability." With regard to religion, the prevalence of mystical and miraculous thematic elements, deeply spiritual self-defining or turning-point episodes, religiously-sanctioned ideologies employed to interpret life events, and synergistic adaptations of various cultural and religious repertoires confirms that religion contributes raw materials and grammatical structures for narrative self construction. Moreover, religious commitment seems to engender narrative optimism and sustain narrative coherence, whether critical or uncritical. With regard to concepts about the self, the theme of suffering is explored to expose an ambiguous negotiation between ideologies of chance (fate/karma/providence) and choice (agency). Generative concerns centralize around progeny and the repair of narratives according to guiding ideologies so as to confer upon life "believability, followability, and vitality."
