CROSS-CULTURAL IDENTITIES IN THE WORK OF JHUMPA LAHIRISAbstract
Transnationalism creates links between individuals, communities, and countries as well as alterations in the social, economic, and cultural spheres of both the countries of origin and of destination. This article\'s goal is to examine the effects of commerce, technology, and migration on contemporary life, society, culture, and literature. It focuses on encounters that cut beyond ethnic, linguistic, and national boundaries. Transnational is a term used by Merriam Webster to describe \"someone who extends and transcends national boundaries\" (Webster). The Latin preposition trans, which meaning \"across,\" \"beyond,\" and \"outside of,\" is used as a prefix. Therefore, the term \"transnational\" designates anything that exists outside of a country. The term \"nation\" refers to an imagined government that occurs within of a certain region and is derived from the Latin word \"natio.\" According to Tölölyan, the idea of the contemporary country is undeniably a creation of the Enlightenment period and has since changed as a result of population spread.
