Abstract

The complexity of Diasporic Identity captivates American writers, fostering diverse perspectives. Therefore, this article explores Diasporic Identity in Daphne Palasi Andreades' novel, Brown Girls, using Rhizomatic Identity and Self-Determinism theories. It analyzes transformative journeys and behavioral patterns of characters, focusing on identity reinvention. The study reveals self-determinism's pivotal role in shaping unique identities. Findings contribute to understanding how diasporans build their essence and challenge cultural narratives. The novel disrupts dominant voices, creating space for authentic portrayals and nuanced dialogues. Exploring diasporic identity in Brown Girls uncovers intricate complexities and emphasizes self-determinism's significance. This research enriches the tapestry of the Diaspora and its identity.
