Both women feel removed from American society based on their ethnic heritage however both women follow different processes in regards to their maturation and acceptance of their dual identities. Tan’s June feels that her process of Americanization involves dismissing and pulling away from the Chinese stories, language and the traditions of her mother. It is not until June visits China that she realizes she is able to grasp both her American and Chinese identities as her own in her life in America. Antonia and her Bohemian community are separated from American society by their language and ethnic traditions. Antonia however, despite this knowledge of what separates her from American society, nevertheless remains aware of her cultural identity and her language. She too, later in life, is able to accept her dual identity within American society not only for herself but also for her children with whom she has continued her Bohemian language and culture.
