TRANSNATIONAL IDENTITIES IN JHUMPA LAHIRIS FICTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Transnationalism generates connections between people, societies, and nations, as well as
changes in the social, economic, and cultural lives of both the origin and destination
countries. The purpose of this article is to look at the impact of people movement, technology,
and trade on modern life, society, culture, and literature. It focuses on experiences that
transcend national, racial, and linguistic borders. "Someone who expands and goes beyond
national limits," Merriam Webster defines transnational as "someone who extends and goes
beyond national boundaries" (Webster). The prefix Trans, which means "across," "beyond,"
and "outside of," is a Latin preposition. As a result, transnational refers to something that
exists outside of a nation. Nation is a word that comes from the Latin word natio and refers
to an imagined polity that exists inside a defined territory. The modern-nation notion,
according to Tölölyan, is unquestionably a product of the Enlightenment era, and it has now
transformed due to population dispersal.
