  • Abstract:
  • This study explores the interplay of Eastern and Western cultural elements in Meera Syal's Anita and Me and Monica Ali's Brick Lane, emphasizing their significance in depicting transnational experiences. By examining cultural hybridity, identity negotiation, and the challenges of navigating immigrant life, the research provides a comparative analysis of how the protagonists reconcile traditional values with the pressures of assimilation into Western culture. Both novels vividly portray the struggles, contradictions, and reconciliations inherent in forming transnational identities. Through these narratives, the study underscores the critical role of Anita and Me and Brick Lane in understanding diasporic experiences, cultural integration, and identity formation. These works enrich contemporary discourse on globalization and contribute significantly to the field of international literature.
