Abstract
Migration is a conflictual step taken on the part of the migratory for this forthcoming step decides not only their future but the future of their forth coming generations, thereby giving birth to the identity cohesion which arouses due to the role coming stages. Some shake, some perish some rise some fall but those who rise from those ashes are the ultimate winners. Migration though a difficult step on account of both, is more difficult on the part of a woman who is an inseparable entity of that phallologocentric tradition. In fact it is the same self admiring, self stimulating, self congratulatory phallologocentricism which has been running across the ages. They are always a defeater be it at their home or in a foreign country. A woman is a flood which would never outburst, as they would never ever be able to come out of those heaths where the witches are kept alive.
A migratee’s condition is no worse than that of a moth that is surrounded by a shell of fate, religious hypocrisy, racial discrimination and a male dominated society. Since already being a victim of economic and social transaction which later on functions as a sole apparatus in keeping with collective interest, the protagonist of Monica Ali’s Brick Lane serves as the mouthpiece of the author, one can even say that there is a hidden accuracy ready in women, the source or the locust for the other. For the opportunity or the space which the women writer has got can serve as a springboard throughout the precursory movement of a transformation of social and culture structures which she is initiating to bring about in the life of her protagonists as well.
