Journal Title: European Online Journal of Natural and Social Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Postcolonial subjects find it difficult to self-define their identities in territories of colonizers. Study implies the postcolonial ideology of Kaletha that “search of identity has become a pressing fact in the global world” (02) upon Hanif Kureshi’s short story My Son The Fanatic. Asians migrated to the Britain colonies tend to mimic the white residents in order to discover their identities by assimilating with the dominant culture. The colonial subject reconstructs themselves in all social domains of tradition, customs, behavioral pattern, and language in order to assimilate in Britain society. Assimilation can only occurs when any black resident of society tries to abandon his personal ethnic identity in favor to adopt ideals of Britain society
