Abstract

Identity is fundamental to each and every human being because it is the means by which a person locates himself or herself in society and culture. In the case of immigrants, nevertheless, many of them face identity crises as part of their integration into the host community. 'Jasmine,' by Bharati Mukherjee, is the narrative of an Indian rural girl who immigrates to America and faces many identity crises in order to find her place in American culture. This dissertation delves into Jasmine's journey of changing identities and also how she arises as both a survivor and a successful immigrant in America. It also explains why these various identities are so important to her survival as an immigrant.
