Theorie der Akkulturation in der kanadischen Belletristik

This study pays more attention to John Berry's theory of acculturation, whose main concepts are separation, marginalization, assimilation, and integration. It examines how the theory of acculturation can be applied to the two Canadian novels under study: Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" and Michael Ondaatje's "The English Patient." This study is structured into three chapters with an introduction and a conclusion. Chapter one provides a theoretical background of Berry's theory of acculturation: definitions and strategies. Chapter two is titled "Separation and Marginalization in The Handmaid's Tale and The English Patient." Chapter three is titled "Assimilation vs. Integration in The Handmaid's Tale and The English Patient." This work is supervised by Dr. Ashraf Ibrahim Zidan and Professor Sayed Sadeq.
