摘要

“The truest eye may now belong to the migrant’s double vision” (Bhaba 4). Living in a diaspora entails a hyphenated existence on two different planes. The individuals look back at the past while simultaneously scuttling forward. The past and present create a subconscious divide. S/he welcomes the idea of being a member of a new community but also dwells in the memories of the old community. Diasporic literature frequently illustrates how people from a given cultural background can lead vastly different lives in the host country.
