| | Mots-clés : | post conolai Viewing Migration Cultural Identity | | Résumé : | Migration has a profound impact on identity construction, where migrants often have their
traditional cultures and identities disrupted. Kiran Desai is one of the most popular
authors that tackled the issues of migration and identity based on her life experiences as
a migrant herself. Her novel The Inheritance of Loss (2016) offers a comprehensive
exploration of the challenges and trials experienced by migrants in the aftermath of
colonialism, as it also provides the challenges of getting exposed to new cultures that play
a role in reshaping people’s identities. Thus, the dissertation raises a main question that
explores the effects of migration that lead her protagonists to undergo identity crises. This
research aims to provide descriptions and analysis concerning the trials they went through
while figuring out their real identity, such as racism, marginalisation, psychological
turmoil, and trauma, as they struggled to reconcile their original identities with the new
cultural environments they were exposed to. Based on this explanation, this research uses
cultural, historical, and psychoanalytical approaches in order to provide a clear
explanation of the psychological effects of colonialism, in addition to the applied and
descriptive methods that help in applying certain theories to describe the struggles faced
by migrants in the west. In view of this, the final results show that getting exposed to a
new environment can change migrants' identities as they adopt the practices and values
of the host culture, leading to a gradual transformation in their perception of self, and
aligning more closely with the norms of the host culture. Moreover, migrants may feel
pressured to assimilate into the new culture as a means of coping with racism, which
further triggers their identity crisis and reformation | | note de thèses : | Master Degree in civilization and Literature |
