Cultural in- betweenness: A vehement perspective in select fictions of Jhumpa Lahiri
Authors
Mir Imtiyaz, Ashaq Hussain Nengroo
Abstract
Immigration and Diaspora have been the consideration of various critics as Homi K. Bhabha and John Stuart Hall who are of the opinion that hybridity and in-betweeness had a great impact on immigrant life where the people confront various predicaments frayed between the old and new homes. This immigration undertaken can be forced or self-set but in both cases, people savvy two culturally and emotionally different worlds. Jhumpa Lahiri's main focus lies not only in unraveling the problems faced by immigrants in their non-native life but who are making initiatives to undergo a major transformation in order to ameliorate their living sphere. Lahiri being an Indian-American makes use of her characters to provide a detailed analysis of both the societies and the cultural boundaries. The concern of the paper is to bring to surface cultural shock experienced by various characters who try to be in line with the newfound home and to acclimatize with the prevailing circumstances.
