This paper will attempt to analyze Monica Ali's Brick Lane from a postcolonial perspective, to analyze the various stages and strategies of acculturation used by immigrants and their European-born children to adapt and adjust to the new dominant culture in the host society using acculturation as a theoretical standpoint. We explain the thematic and structural qualities of migration literature, as well as the manner in which the phenomenon of migration-the displacement of an individual from one country to another-influences literature and literary products of any culture.

Acculturation, immigrants, theorists, displacement, culture.
