The Impact of Migration on Cultural Identity and Literary Expression

Abstract

This research article explores the profound impact of migration on cultural identity and literary expression in contemporary society. Through a comprehensive analysis of selected literary texts and theoretical frameworks from cultural studies and migration literature, the study examines how migration shapes individuals' perceptions of self and influences their creative expressions in literature. Key findings highlight the prevalence of cultural hybridity among migrant communities, the representation of displacement and belonging in literary narratives, and the role of language in shaping cultural identities. Additionally, the research discusses diasporic consciousness, transnational connections, and critical reflections on power dynamics within migrant literature. By bridging disciplines and offering nuanced insights, this study contributes to understanding migration as a transformative force in shaping cultural identities and artistic expressions globally.
