Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki bagaimana generasi pertama dan kedua Muslim Pakistan-Amerika menegosiasikan identitas ganda mereka dalam Homeland Elegies karya Ayad Akhtar. Mulai saat ini, nama Ayad Akhtar akan mengacu pada karakter dalam novel, bukan penulisnya, kecuali dinyatakan sebaliknya. Penelitian ini menggunakan konsep poskolonial milik Bhabha mengenai mimikri, ambivalensi, hibriditas serta teori orientalisme milik Said dan teori budaya milik William. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif analitis untuk menganalisis proses, alasan, dan bentuk Ayad dan orang tuanya dalam menegosiasikan identitas ganda mereka sebagai Muslim Pakistan-Amerika. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa negosiasi identitas tokoh utama dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor penting yaitu keluarga, lingkungan sosial, dan nilai-nilai Islam yang diajarkan oleh keluarganya. Akibatnya, generasi pertama dan kedua terus-menerus menegosiasikan identitas mereka untuk bersosialisasi dengan baik di dunia yang terus berubah. Ayad dan orang tuanya melalui berbagai proses negosiasi identitas. Negosiasi identitas imigran generasi pertama ditunjukkan melalui perbedaan tindakan dan juga pendapat Ayad terhadap budaya Pakistan, Amerika, dan Islam. Ayad lebih kritis terhadap budaya tersebut dan negosiasinya terbukti lebih ekstrem bagi seorang Muslim, seperti mengenakan salib dan berpartisipasi dalam seks bebas. Proses pada imigran generasi kedua berbeda dengan generasi pertama, Sikander dalam bentuk mimikri obsesif ketika ia mencoba untuk meniru segala sesuatu yang Amerika dan juga percaya pada nilai-nilai fanatik atau rasis. Bentuk Fatima kontras karena dia lebih tahan dengan budayanya sendiri, Fatima menyangkal hampir semua hal Amerika dan memilih untuk hanya mengikuti budaya Pakistan-Muslim. Terlepas dari bentuk negosiasi identitas yang sangat berbeda antara Sikander dan Fatima, kedua karakter tersebut diperlihatkan lebih menyukai budaya tanah air mereka. Pada akhirnya, Ayad menemukan identitas Amerikanya, Sikander mendapatkan kembali identitas Pakistannya, dan Fatima mempertahankan identitas Pakistan-Muslimnya. ********** This study aims to investigate the negotiation of the first and second generation of Pakistani-American Muslim’s multiple identities in Homeland Elegies written by Ayad Akhtar the author. From this point on, the name Ayad Akhtar will be referring to the character in the novel instead of the author unless stated otherwise. This study is deploying Bhabha’s postcolonial concepts of mimicry, ambivalence, hybridity also Said’s orientalism theory and William’s culture theory. This study applied descriptive analytical method to analyse the process, reason, and form of Ayad and his parents in negotiating their multiple identities as Pakistani-American Muslim. The finding showed that the main characters identity negotiation had been influenced by several important factors which were family, social environment, and Islamic values taught by their family. As a result, the first and second generations were continuously negotiating their identities in order to properly socialize in a changing world. Ayad and his parents went through various processes of identity negotiation. The first-generation immigrant identity negotiation is shown through the difference of action and also opinion Ayad has towards Pakistani, American, and Islamic culture. Ayad is more critical towards those and his negotiation are shown to be more extreme for a Muslim, such as wearing a cross and participating in casual sex. The process in second-generation immigrant is different compared to first generation, Sikander is in the form obsessive mimicry as he tried to mimic everything American and also believed in bigoted or racist values. Fatima’s form is contrast as she was more resilient with her own cultures, Fatima denied almost everything American and chose to only follow Pakistani-Muslim cultures. Despite the wildly different forms of identity negotiation between Sikander and Fatima, both characters are shown to prefer their homeland cultures. In the end, Ayad discovered his American identity, Sikander regained his Pakistani identity, and Fatima kept her Pakistani-Muslim identity.
