Cultural Hybridity in Bharati Mukherjee's Desirable Daughters

Abstract

Bharati Mukherjee is a post colonial contemporary writer who has presented her themes of cultural conflict in different perspective. She has portrayed the problems faced by Indians and other Third World immigrants. This study tries to explore that Mukherjee is primarily concerned with the problems of women immigrants. The present work deals with special attention on cultural hybridity. It attempts to study the phenomenon of migration, the status of new immigrants and the feeling of alienation, experienced by the immigrant with special reference to Mukherjee’s women characters.
