CHAPTER IV CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. Conclusion

In supporting colonialism, the Europeanwest spread of colonial discourse that assumes the native as an inferior representation of Europe in the form of knowledge about the East in their stereotypes. The indigenous authors against these representations by writing his own about themselves and their society, so that efforts to reconstruct their identities. Mohsin Hamid is one of the Pakistani natives who live in America when his homeland has always been an interesting place to be colonized starting from the Aryans to the Mongols to the British and also American. Through the main character Changez, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Mohsin Hamids second work shows native picture that comes out of binary construction between European and non Europea, as natives hybrid. In The Reluctant Fundamentalist, natives hybrid displayed a superior human being capable of opening up to foreign culture as a solution to get out of the nativist restrictions. The word hybrid in the native hybrid indicates a difference with what he called the natives and with what is called Europe. Natives is a hybrid identity, a position taken by natives who create distance between himself and the native in general, with the roots of tradition and religion, as well as with Europe. To show a hybrid of the indigenous natives in general, Mohsin Hamid embedded Eastern stereotypes in the representation of 44 natives generally, and remove it from the representation of indigenous hybrid. To demonstrate the benefits of a hybrid of native citizens of Europe, Mohsin Hamid, who represents the American figures are powerless and controlled by indigenous hybrid. Hybrid identity in The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a symbol of resistance. Indigenous hybridization process is shown as a conscious and active measures within the framework of indigenous resistance to European domination and not as a form of affirmation of the superiority of Europe. Strength and power of the indigenous natives and the power of tradition is shown as the decisive factor is the possibility of hybridization. Depiction of power relations between the characters, showing a resistance to the discourse of European superiority. Indigenous figures who are able to position itself as an indigenous hybrid, is a native of fight, subdue, and mocked the American leaders and policy dominance. Changez shows opposition to Europe United States with his decision to return to Pakistan to act subject to the Americans who look down on natives. Changez hybridization demonstrated the ability of natives to make itself Almost The Same But Not Quite with Europe. He was able to enter the space reserved for the Europeans and the show as the subject looked back Europe. The Reluctant Fundamentalist does not only show a hybrid identity as a symbol of resistance to Europe, but also to the roots of tradition and religion. Through storytelling and criticism, Changez figures show awareness of the ugliness of his native culture. The spirit of resistance against tradition and religion in this novel, it was shown by generating a hybrid character as a hero. The story shows that Changez has the vision and care to the plight of the people and nation. Hybrid identity in The Reluctant Fundamentalist is also shown as the reconstruction process because of the experience colonized indigenous identity. Native reconstruction process is represented by the figure who is also the narrator, Changez. Changez meeting with European knowledge through school education is the destruction of building himself identity as a Pakistani and Muslim, who had assumed as something complete and permanent. Search process of Changez’s identity between two cultures, Pakistan and America, seen after the bombing of WTC Building on September 11, 2001, symbolizing the two cultures essentialist boundaries. time in storytelling, showing acts of positioning Changez in a bitter event in memories, in an effort to re-interpret the past and the present as the parts of his identity. This shows the importance in understanding the role of memory and identity in the process of reconstruction of indigenous identity. Active reconstruction process suggests a process of mental decolonization natives in escaping the Eropasentris identity construction. By discussing the postcolonial approach and focusing on the problem of hybrid identity in The Reluctant Fundamentalist novel, it can be revealed that this novel represents the indigenous Pakistani resistance against the domination of Americans and other foreign countries. This novel shows the hybridity as a site that allows indigenous resistance against the occupation by using the tools introduced colonialism itself. This novel shows the struggle of indigenous as well as active measures that require strength, ability, and indigenous strategies to cope with all conditions is limited due to colonial policies. Tone of bitter and rough text of this novel can be understood and suggests that colonialism did not only show physical injuries. Eropasentris identity Construction that is spread in the colonial discourse of indigenous deprivation causes injury of the roots of tradition and religion.
