Immigrant experience in literature is a site of layered, overlapping tensions that encompass gender, race, cultural belonging, and generational identity. This article examines the multidimensional experiences of gender as they manifest across immigrant subjectivities in Lahiri's novel. Drawing on Crenshaw's theoretical framework of intersectionality, the study investigates how gender intersects with race, class, and cultural belonging to shape the lived realities of both first- and second-generation immigrants within the Ganguli family. As Collins and Bilge observe, "intersectionality as an analytic tool gives people better access to the complexity of the world and of themselves." The first generation is represented through Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli, whose diverging responses to migration illuminate the gendered dimensions of diasporic existence. The second generation, embodied by Gogol and Sonia, foregrounds the tensions between cultural heritage and assimilation. The article also incorporates analysis of identity, labor, memory, and domination as they intersect within diasporic life. It contends that migration, as represented in The Namesake, is a layered, generationally differentiated struggle, shaped by the convergence of gender, culture, race, and belonging.
