Abstract

Immigrants must adjust since they are fundamentally different from those around them and confront several difficulties. Due to their differences in appearance, culture, or beliefs, they frequently encounter discrimination from others. The problems that various immigrant generations confront also influence their attitudes and stances. This research aims to investigate the generational gap that exists between first generation and second generation Pakistani-American Muslims immigrants as portrayed in the novel Homeland Elegies by Ayad Akhtar. This research is descriptive analytical research using Said’s postcolonial theory of orientalism. The findings indicate that there is a generational gap between first- and second-generation immigrants as they encounter different challenges and adapt differently.

Abstract

The issue regarding female gender roles has been circulating for so many years in many cultures. The issue can be seen in many media including a novel where it brings up the matter along the plot in the story. This article aims to see women empowerment in comparison to the female gender roles represented in Crazy Rich Asians novel by Kevin Kwan. To support this research, the theory used is Eagly’s Gender Role theory and Malhotra’s Women empowerment theory. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method to elaborate on the female gender roles and women empowerment. The results showed that this novel portrays that the female gender roles and stereotypes came from the residual culture and the women empowerment happened when the female characters can choose their own life path for their own sake by their own decisions. It shows that despite the culture that bonds the female characters for generations, they can still speak up for themselves and choose what is good for them.
