Abstract

America, being a country of extreme liberalism, individual freedom, choice and existence and modern & lavish way of living is a center of attraction for the people of Third world. And  the new rise of globalization and capitalism has also added to its glory. So, people from the other part of world in search of better ways of living, high standard and for monetary gain often go to settle there. Even the  people  of  literary  world  are  not  apart  from  it. They  also  migrate  for  better  popularity  and  monetary gain. But everything is not as easy as it appears as more or less they have to face some problems in a new atmosphere. And the most important issue is adjustment or assimilation. The fact is that some people find it difficult to adapt themselves in a new surrounding which is totally different than the society of their native country.  They  experience  culture  shock  as  American  culture  and  society  is  very  different  from  their traditional one. This is especially a vital issue with the Muslim communities when they migrate to United States. In the recent times, there is a rise of diasporic writer there is a rise of diasporic writer who are also enriching  the  American  literature  by  sharing  their  immigrant  experiences.  Though  there  are  many  such writers but I am focusing on MohjaKafh, Khaled Hosseini, AsraNomani and Samima Ali.   

Key words: Diasporic Muslim writers, American Literature, Immigrant experience, Third world country.
