An Attempt to Contemplate the Term ‘Human Migration’ Beyond its Elementary Meaning: Extracting the Junctures from the Works of George Saunders

People are stuck in the discourse of liminality, where they suffer from an identity crisis. An identity crisis is such a period when a person is uncertain about his life and origin and many more areas, which compel people to migrate to some other unknown places. This research delineates the issues that people go through in the nonfictional world, particularly, how an individual struggle for their identity. Saunders has made references to human migration in his various works, aiming to portray the true crunches faced by the people through the characters in his anthologies. The term ‘migration' is often seen as a notion and frequently relates to refugees. Therefore, this paper probes to look into the other side. The journey is drastically different from person to person when it comes to migration. Displacement and cultural diversity are the major causes to be discussed which prompt migrants to move afar from racism and hostility and search for social identity. There are people who are helpless in seeking their originality and the only choice is to shift from one place to another, which is studied as ‘human migration'.
