To Belong in America . . . Let Us Count the Ways

Bharati Mukherjee (Op-Ed, 22 September) erroneously believes that "only two methods can be attributed to the United States": assimilation or rejection assimilation

Building a chosen identity in a country involves more complex and lively negotiations. There is no neat fork trail leading to or leaving a wonderful "American", and the self-positioning of his compatriots will never be perfect.

I am a South Asian woman, I live, study and work in the USA. In my case it is 40 years. I have brothers and sisters adapted to America in my own way. Someone can wear Sally, but you can carry a US passport. Fortunately, the possibilities of people are not pre-packaged into constant libraries. I am aware that at another level, one day people can imitate American political and cultural domestic experts and be fired as the next critic of alien sensitivity. I can see that my colleague is a culturally adapted person and a religious central researcher around me, and I still feel subjective like an outsider I can do it.

However, it is this constant ambiguity that draws my greatest attention to the lives of Americans. In other places where I live as a foreigner, for example in the UK or Germany, the boundaries of 'affiliation' like race, class, gender boundaries are more rigid and difficult to intersect.

Normally, people do not choose to become insiders. Of course, you can follow your own conditions. Over the centuries, the charm of the United States has allowed and encouraged various American ways. Reducing these possibilities as Mukherjee wishes will be a real treachery.

In the story of "Two ways to go back to the USA", the author and the narrator Bharati talked about questions about the image of American immigrants and the meaning of belonging to a country where it really is. In Baratti 's short story' Two ways to stay in the USA ', she talked about her and her sister' s experience as the first immigrants from India to America. When they arrived in America they were similar in appearance in both appearance and attitude - both perspective and emotion. Everyone is looking for a degree - Mira continues to read the creative writing of children's psychology and preschool education. After obtaining degrees, they got married back to India and their father chose them. The second part of the program is the abortion of two sisters who tend to marry a young man who is studying business degrees at Wayne University after acquiring a child's psychology and pre-primary education degree - It is Mira.

"There are two ways in America," Bharati Mukherjee wrote about self-reform that took place after moving from India to America. Unlike her sister, Mira, she still accepts her American citizenship despite the plan that Bharatti had yet to return to India. I only have a student visa in the Italian term but I am in love with Italian lifestyle and cultural pride. Living in other countries is an exciting experience where you can see the way people live around the world. As part of her embrace of citizenship, Bharati wants to be part of the community she lives in. I spoke Italian with local people and stand out in the Italian community by trying to live at a slow pace. I will never forget going to the country to join my cooking class with my friend. There, women and her family welcome us to their quaint houses and light up love and happiness.
