This paper attempts to offer an original insight into Jhumpa
Lahiri’s novel The Namesake by exploring it in the light of ReOrientalism which has arisen out of the outlooks of the South Asian
writers. If Orientalism discussed by Edward Said means that there
are negative stereotypical images in the Oriental nations and
sharply determined lines between the West and the Orient, ReOrientalism points to the perception that the diasporic South Asian
writers seek to reflect backward, patriarchal and negative
stereotypes about the South Asian culture and conventions in their
literary texts. Lahiri’s work needs to be analyzed through this
perspective since she could be said to draw upon patriarchal
tendencies that place Indian women within the frontiers of
ignorance and minor status, Indian parents’ lack of empathy for
children’s desires and generation gap due to the parents’ obsession
with clinging to unnecessarily rigid rules of Indian traditions.
While the second generation Indian immigrants display manners
that symbolize the signs of the Western ideals such as freedom of
speech, gender equality and individual autonomy, their parents as
the first generation Indian immigrants in America represent the
backwardness, the fact of silencing women in the family as well as
the construction of insurmountable barriers between themselves
and modern thoughts.
