    摘要: This paper seeks to explore three modes of cultural identification presented in Kiran Desai's
    The Inheritance of Loss. With three intersecting plotlines, the novel focuses on three divergent
    modes of cultural identification in different spatio-temporal contexts. The first kind of cultural
    identification is imbued with a sense of foreignness, exemplified by the judge, Jemubhai,
    whose cultural identity is deeply shaped by imperialist ideology during British colonization of
    India. As Indian culture is negated by the colonial power, Jemubhai adheres to English cultural
    identification and disavows his Indianness. The second mode of cultural identification revolves
    around the issue of cultural authenticity in the diasporic context for Biju, a young migrant,
    illegal worker in various restaurants in New York. To survive in a foreign country, Biju forces
    himself to transgress cultural borders, which disconcerts Biju and further prompts him to
    pursue cultural authenticity. The third mode highlights Sai's and Gyan's trajectories of cultural
    identification. Just as Sai, Jemubhai’s granddaughter, embodies the idea of in-betweenness,
    Gyan, Sai's math tutor, manifests the desire to escape narrow nationalism. Both Sai and Gyan
    evoke the potential of crossing borders. Juxtaposing the three modes of cultural identification,
    Desai's novel explores the process of negotiating cultural identity and gestures towards a field
    of border-crossing identity.
