| - An American immigrant novel is a genre of American novel which explores the process of assimilation and the relationship of American immigrants toward American identity and ideas. The novels often show and explore generational differences in immigrant families, especially the first and second generations. The extraordinary ethnic diversity of America allows for a type of immigrant novel which differs from other countries. America, often seen as a country of immigrants, opens up a unique canvas for expression and a better understanding of the American immigrant experience through literature. The narrative styles are diverse and can include memoirs, third-person, first-person, and biographies. The past twenty-five years alone have witnessed a major scholarly emphasis on multiculturalism in American studies, and a flood of new immigrant novels, reflecting the shifting demographics of United States immigration patterns. Generational changes in attitude, identity, experience, and demographics from real statistics are challenged and explored by immigrant novels, such as the change in income level and attitudes toward assimilation.
