The Bildungsroman of American minorities focuses on the confusion,epiphany,and growth of minority protagonists during their adolescence,with identity politics,gender issues,and ethnic minority culture at its core,constituting an integral part of American ethnic minority literature.With the evolving global landscape and the increasing prominence of diasporic identities among ethnic minority writers,21st-century American ethnic minority Bildungsromans exhibit novel features.They undergo significant changes in narrative structure,character portrayal,and themes of growth,with the narrative structure expanding beyond time and space;protagonists'self-healing abilities strengthening;the coming-of-age ceremonies becoming more metaphorical and ethnically specific;and the themes of growth being more ethnic,contemporary,and socially instructive.These new features hold significant academic values for understanding the identity and cultural heritage of American ethnic minorities.
