Immigrant Literature
Immigrant literature refers to works created by authors who have moved from one country to another, often exploring themes of identity, belonging, and cultural conflict. These narratives frequently reflect the challenges and experiences faced by immigrants, such as adapting to a new environment, maintaining cultural heritage, and navigating societal expectations.
This genre encompasses a wide range of voices and perspectives, including those from diverse backgrounds like Latino, Asian, and Middle Eastern communities. Notable examples include Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's "Americanah" and Junot Díaz's "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao," which highlight the complexities of immigrant life.
