Pakistani Diaspora Cultural Transformation Under Globalization in Shamsie's Home Fire
This research explores the cultural dimension of globalization that has transformed the lives of masses experiencing Pakistani diaspora in Kamila Shamsie's Home Fire that reflects the life and sensibilities of the diaspora community, especially after 9/11. Shamsie takes into account how the lives of the Pakistani diaspora Muslim community got into difficulties, especially after 9/11. Manfred B. Steger's theorization serves as a framework to evaluate cultural transformation under the ever increasing influence of globalization through media. This article examines the transformation in the life and identity of the Pakistanis residing in the West because of media and language. This study also reveals that Pakistani Anglophone fiction has a well-established place in the literary world and highlights the issues and challenges faced by the third world in the contemporary globalized world.
