| Résumé : |
During the last decades, the phenomenon of immigration has increased enormously, it becomes an
expression of the human aspirations for dignity, safety and a better life, especially for third world
societies. It turned out to be a part of the social fabric and an enduring feature of our contemporary
world. Yet, crossing borders and seas involves dire risks, with many immigrants not able to settle
safely in the host country. Literature has long sought to reflect the experience of the immigrants and
make their voices heard. Migrant writers listened to their calls for it is their duty to offer a voice to
the voiceless, through their literary contributions, they represent a living embodiment of the
immigrant’s journey. Indian American writer Bharati Mukherjee is one of them, through her literary
productions, she represents the contemporary voice of the new immigrants, mainly those who come
from undeveloped countries. Therefore, and through Bharati Mukherjee’s novel Jasmine, this study
investigates the hardships of third world new immigrants within the context of the American dream
and engages with the impact of immigration on their psyche and identity. Jasmine offers a passage to
the life of the new immigrant in the new world. Written from first person point of view, the novel
provides the reader a deeper insight into the protagonist’s stream of consciousness. It presents a vivid
image about the sufferings of third world people both in their birthplaces as well as in the adopted
land after migration. Using psychoanalytic and post-colonial approaches, this paper argues that the
protagonist, Jasmine, could not attain a new identity and be American after migrating to America,
thus, the failure of immigration to serve her quest for identity. It is also argued that the protagonist
fails at fulfilling the American dream in America. |
