Abstract

This paper traces the identity constructing process of Carlos Bulosan, the protagonist of the autobiographical novel America Is in the Heart. From his adherence to farming culture to his pursuit of democracy and freedom, he obtained cultural identity. From fighting for the interests of Filipino workers to working with Communists for materialistic workers, he gained ethnic identity. From the psychological orientation of Filipino immigrants’ striving for American citizenship, he won national identity. When these three identities were obtained at the same time, he completed the identity construction.
