Popis: As to the main theme of The Woman Warrior, the consensus is complete among the critics. Its theme is ethnic marginalization. They all stress how much Swedish readers can learn from this book about the complicated problem of immigration, especially when involving people of color. There are plenty of admonitions directed specifically to people politically and professionally engaged in handling the integration of immigrants into Sweden to immediately read the book. One critic concludes his review by declaring that, in his estimate, there is no handbook available that can better help us understand what it takes to cope with two cultures, including two languages, than Kingston's fictional autobiography.
