This paper demonstrates a profound analysis to Leila Aboulela’s novel The Kindness of Enemies (2015) through the acculturation theory. I exhibit how the acts of prejudice, discrimination, and exclusion of Muslims in the West after the 9/11 attacks have led the Muslim protagonists in Leila Aboulela’s work to shift their positive acculturation strategies (i.e. assimilation and integration) to negative ones (i.e. separation and marginalization) as a result of high-level acculturative stress on Muslims. Initially, the paper attempts at presenting the acculturation strategies adopted by each character and the aspirations behind the endorsement of such acculturation strategies. Afterwards, the acculturative stress they encounter due to their Muslim heritage and its negative outcomes on them are manifested in order to highlight their impact on the failure of the initially chosen acculturation strategies by Natasha, Oz, and Malak. Accordingly, the paper illustrates their shift from their primarily followed acculturation strategies to other ones to cope with their sense of marginality and alienation from the dominant society of settlement and to acquire a satisfactory level of adaptation. |
