     本文透過閱讀任璧蓮一九九六年的長篇小說《夢娜在應許之地》,主張在閱讀亞美文學中有關族裔的再現時,必須考量社經階級的重要性。《夢》書的背景是一九六○年代末的紐約上州,典型的讀法是把它當成有關美國族裔的流動性的故事:主角張夢娜的父母是移民美國的餐廳老闆,出生於美國的夢娜藉由改信同儕信奉的猶太教,而創造出自已的族裔。夢娜和友人也結交非裔美國朋友,而且實驗跨種族約會和共同生活。然而我主張,環繞在夢娜改信宗教的許多家庭衝突,其核心其實是階級。夢娜的雙親原本來自一九四九年之前上海的富裕家庭,他們向孩子施壓,是希望他們成為出人頭地的「模範弱勢族裔」或「新猶太人」,以便恢復失去的階級特權。他們排斥「有色人種」的修辭,是因為那會讓他們等同於低下階級的黑人和拉丁美洲移民。夢娜改信改革派猶太教,代表了她嘗試調和自己革社會的理想主義欲望以及改善家庭地位的孝順欲望。《夢》書作為喜劇而有一個保守的快樂結局:圍堵了「多元文化」的社會威脅,並且恢復了(與種族秩序密切關連的)階級結構。
     Through a reading of Gish Jen's 1996 novel, Mona in the Promised Land, this essay argues for the importance of considering socioeconomic class in reading representations of ethnicity in Asian American literature. Set in upstate New York in the late 1960s, Mona is typically read as a story about the fluidity of American ethnicity: the protagonist Mona Chang, the American-born daughter of immigrant restaurant owners, invents her ethnicity by converting to Judaism, the religion of her peers. Mona and her friends also befriend African-Americans and experiment with cross-race dating and communal living. I argue, however, that the family conflicts surrounding Mona's conversion are at heart about class. Her parents, originally from wealthy families in pre-1949 Shanghai, put pressure on their children to be high-achieving "model minorities," or "New Jews," in order to recover their lost class privileges. They reject "people of color" rhetoric because it would align them with lower-class blacks and Latinos. Mona's conversion to an activist variety of Reform Judaism represents an attempt to reconcile her idealistic desire for social change with her filial desire to improve her family's standing. As a comedy, Mona's story has a conservative happy ending in which "multicultural" social threats are contained and class structure-closely intertwined with racial order-is restored.
