Cross-Cultural Explorations In Bharati Mukherjee's Selected Novels

This book aims at highlighting cross-cultural relations dependent on the recognition of uncertainty and unfamiliarity of interactions with others that belong to another cultural milieu. Cross-cultural explorations can be easily notified in multilayered cultural backgrounds. In case of mirroring multiple cultures, the most appropriate illustrations can be cited in Bharati Mukherjee's Diasporic literary works. This book presents the turns of events in the lives of characters who are often immigrants from homeland to the adopted land. The sense of alienation, the phase of adaptation, the stage of reconciliation, the process of assimilation, and the destination of acculturation are the progressive steps which end in the cross-cultural explorations. It is necessary to move beyond the frontiers of race, religion, class and nationality to understand cross-cultural associations. For the promotion of positive global view of humanity, cross-cultural explorations in Bharti Mukherjee's The Tiger's Daughter and Wife are studied in the present book.
