| dc.description.abstract | The present article reads Bharat' Mukherjee's novel Jasmine from a feminist perspective that incorporates postmodern and diasporic stances in order to interpret the protagonist's character based on her mutability in the diasporic space of the United States of America. The research shows that despite the agony and uncertainty Jasmine faces, she emerges as a strong individual after completing her diasporic trajectories. While facing crucial situations, she develops into an independent person in the following ways: she tries to keep a balance between tradition and modernity; makes chokes based on her own mediation; and takes responsibility for her choices. The article parallels Mukherjee's own journey towards finding a new diasporic identity with that of her protagonist Jasmine. Therefore, the work traces both the real and fictional traversing of two characters who are abundantly influenced by each other in their quest to sculpting a new diasporic identity. | |
