Jhumpa Lahiri 2003 novel The Namesake "is less interested in the pursuit of the American Dream as it was traditionally rendered in older immigrant narratives than...in focusing on what happens once that dream (in its variety of incarnations) is achieved, not only by the generation of immigrants but also by its children." (Critique) Lahiri's status as "part of a vanguard of young, contemporary ethnic American writers" whose works challenge the stereotypes of the "disenfranchised immigrant who remains in one place once he or she reaches America's shores, trapped by poverty or political and legal restrictions," is emphasized.
