Abstract

Amina’s Voice is an American novel by Hena Khan. It tells about a social life in Milwaukee, Washington. The story is dominated by Pakistani-American Muslim girl, named Amina. As Pakistani Muslim Immigrant, Amina and her family always try to maintain their own culture while they live with Americans who have their own culture. They use Urdu instead of using English. They also spend more time with people from their community. Amina’s family does not have any significant changes in language, accent, or behavior despite they live in America for a long time. The background of the cases above encourages the researcher to analyze how Pakistani muslim immigrant adapts to American culture. The researcher uses social identity theory by Henri Tajfel to conduct the analysis. Theory of social identity is divided into three process, social categorization, social identification, and social comparison. However, the process of adaptation shapes the perspective how the group must behave. The group behavior itself involves intergroup discrimination and stereotype perceptionin-group and out-group. The researcher concludes that the process of the adaptation of Pakistani Immigrant Muslim to American culture has influenced Amina’s family thought. They believe that their community is better than the others. They strictly defends their group in the first place which means that they have the commitment to protect the group.
