Download The Fictional World of Jhumpa Lahiri: A Study in Merging Identities Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book examines Jhumpa Lahiri as an author interested in non- gender-specific issues such as immigration, identity, alienation, and diaspora addressed in the domain of postcolonial theory, by highlighting marginality, alienation, and nostalgia as the three chief features in her writings testifying to a sensibility that remains compulsively subsumed in her family’s ethnic heritage and the lives of South Asian immigrants in the United States. The study explains how her search for the self and national identity merged in two cultures and two nations perforce crystallize the “metaphors of her own creative consciousness.

Download A Home Away from Home A Study in the fiction of Bharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Jhumpa Lahiri Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Diaspora, a movement of the people and cultures, has generated writers not just to shape new identities for themselves but for others too and writers like Bharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Jhumpa Lahiri have not only explored the concept but have set trends to acknowledge and assimilate the changing perceptions. Staying away from their original homelands and sharing common experiences the immigrants have innumerable accounts to narrate and the writers have taken up the pen to articulate various occurrences through words. Based not on any theory or philosophy but just on the life experiences of immigrants, Diasporic literature has touched the hearts of the readers and there has been a poignant emotional impact.

Download Aesthetics of Displacement in Jhumpa Lahiri's Fiction Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This study is a new exploration of Lahiri’s fiction through the lens of postmodern aesthetics with reference to the main text The Lowland and the secondary text The Namesake. The Lowland is a narrative of home, displacement and a vague attempt of resettlement in a new world, yet the prime objective of this thesis is to explore how the desire to break with the barriers of tragic past and seeking survival in another world gives a new perspective of Diaspora. The Lowland and The Namesake explore the aesthetics of displacement, rather than touching upon the pains of displacement and dislocation. It is not the existence in the new world which causes the disaster of individuals; rather it is the tragic past which destroys their lives totally. Moreover the rejection of old habits, traditions and conditioning, and a merging with the culture of the new context is an existing issue of the post modern transcultural world. The new world not only offers professional opportunity and financial betterment, but also provides a chance to obliviate the haunted memories of the tragic past. And immigration or displacement is a kind of rebirth in a new culture. The feeling of home is like something haunting and dark which frightens the people. Their quest of survival in a transcultural world, and their will to sacrifice their relations for that reason is an insight into situations of fast changing social fabric in India. This research explores how the male and the female agency works in order to build an individual identity, and it constructs individual realities based on personal experiences of the old world and the changing perceptions of the new world.
