Abstract
One of the important and characteristic elements in contemporary American ethnic novels is the style of magical realism. For each ethnic group, be it the Native Americans, African Americans or Asian Americans, oral tradition is very important. Storytelling, as one of the most important magical realist elements in these texts, is used as a way to preserve the tradition and rituals of one’s predecessors. In such stories one does not see any boundaries between the real and the magical. The novels’ aim is to convey a certain message, to teach the individuals how to behave and act in the present world, and still keep their ethnic identity alive. Native American authors Louise Erdrich and Leslie Marmon Silko, as well as the Chinese American author Amy Tan and the African American author Toni Morrison, use magical realism in their novels to depict and emphasize the values of the community, preserving the oral stories and, therefore, tradition for the future.
