Abstract
Treatment of identity crisis in I.B. Singer's novelShoshahas been analyzed in
terms of diaspora. Because of fragmentation and frustration, most of the characters in
Shoshacannot create their own identity and position rather they are bounded to move
from one to another. Diasporic feeling and sense of fragmentation create not only
problem in the life of characters inShoshabut also create alienation and frustration in
the life of Eastern European Jews as well. On the whole, Singer's novelShoshatries
to show the situation of the characters and their identity crisis which also represent the
problems of Jews in Eastern Europe.
