The majority of Chaoxianzu in China today are the immigrants of the late 19th century and the early 20th century, and their descendents who have close ties with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Republic of Korea, and the People's Republic of China. Chaoxianzu, as neither Joseonin (people of Joseon, mostly referring to North Korea) nor Hankukin (South Korean), have oral traditions that reflect their unique experiences that have exerted great influences in the shaping of their lives.Folklore studies carried out by Chaoxianzu scholars and collectors in China indicate both the similarities and differences between Chaoxianzu oral traditions and the oral traditions of the Korean peninsula. Themes such as nostalgia, survival, desire to establish a home, and struggles against abusive authority figures are considered as representative characteristics found in Chaoxianzu oral traditions, which include place legends, folk stories, prosimetric narratives, and personal narratives. This thesis concentrates on several examples of personal narratives and the processes of Chaoxianzu individual and group identity. 2002 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392300971 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392300971 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
