Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften - Mittlerer Osten, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This study is about 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."

It is divided into three chapters with an introduction and a conclusion. The introduction includes the following: objective of study, questions of study, methodology of study, literature review, and chapterizations.
The questions of that study are: What is the Theory of Acculturation?; what are the four strategies of this theory and how they are developed?; why is today's world in dire need of cultural diversity?; and how are these four strategies applied to the two novels?
