%X Growing up in a Mexican-American community, Santra Cisneros, through the character of Esperanza, reveals the struggle of women for pursuing their identity in such a culture-mixed environment which features traditional patriarchal Mexican culture, the new and melted American culture, as well as consuming culture. Esperanza¡¯s special identity determines that she cannot choose which side to be on, but act as a medium helping the communication between her own Mexican culture and the intruding American culture via writing. Gaze and consuming culture cast a profound influence upon the forming of women¡¯s subjective identity.
