- Abstract
Identity is an intriguing concept in psychology and literature. An identity crisis is a period of serious personal questioning where an individual makes an effort to determine one's own value and sense of direction. The main focus of immigrant literature is often directed at the act of migration to another land, issues of rootlessness, nostalgia and longing. Immigrants undergo the plight of identity crisis, cultural dilemmas and displacement. In Queen of Dreams, Divakaruni deals with identity crisis with the character of Rakhi. The struggle of Indian women in the US to reclaim their identity and self-worth is depicted increasingly through the struggle of Rakhi.
