Abstract

Understanding one’s cultural identity is important as it helps clarify one’s existence as an individual and as part of a group. However, retaining one’s identity can be dilemmatic for the immigrants. This problem happens to Pakistani Muslim diaspora in the aftermath of 9/11, and this problem is captured in a drama script The Domestic Crusaders by Wajahat Ali. This research is intended to analyze the cultural identity construction of Pakistani Muslim diaspora as portrayed in this literary work by using Hall’s concept of cultural identity and diaspora to understand how cultural identity is constructed in diaspora experience. This is qualitative research in which the writer is deeply exploring, understanding and interpreting social phenomena within its natural setting to get the result. Based on the analysis of the drama script, it is found that the cultural identity of the Pakistani Muslim immigrant family members vary and experience constant changes as they are adapting to the dominant power inside the community. While the older generation has a tendency to be subjected without force to the dominant power, the younger generation tries to adapt without being subjected to the dominant power. All of them are more likely to assimilate to American culture, but the white American’s treatment towards them following 9/11 has made them revisit and question their sense of belonging. The changes that happen can be seen as their ways to adapt to the dominant power in the community.
