| 4. | Description | Abstract | This paper explores the problem relating to the formation and discovery of self-identity among the immigrant population in Britain. The immigrants that are being analyzed in this paper are based on Kureishi’s The Buddha of Suburbia, a novel that features postmodern trends of literary writing. The paper presents the struggle of the protagonist, Karim, to discover his true self in a multicultural and multiethnic society. The multilevel discovery includes sexual, cultural, and criminal orientation and identity in a postmodern society.
