题目材料：
In the book China Men (1980), Maxine Hong Kingston tells of Chinese Americans establishing identities in the United States. She acknowledges the importance of ethnicity (the national origins of one's ancestors or one's self), yet also the importance of geographical location aside from one's "homeland" and interactions with other cultures in identity formation. These latter ideas suggest similarity between Kingston and "border identity" theorists. These theorists challenge the arbitrariness of ethnic identities based on national boundaries, claiming that individual identity is influenced by the various cultures with which one interacts, especially in a mobile global society. Moreover, such theorists argue that identity requires redefinition either in terms of multiple nationalities or in terms of geographic units different from nations, such as cities. Yet, redefining what it means to be an "American" without abandoning the term itself, Kingston distances herself from some border theorists. While recognizing multiple identities, she also counters border theorists' emphasis on mobility and disconnection from specific countries by emphasizing the importance of a sense of belonging for people occupying a land with others. Even so, to belong to America in Kingston's world is not to have a set identity, but rather to have the opportunity to reconstruct identity through group interactions.
