Annotation | The article focuses on most up-to-date topic – cultural differences between “western“, Anglo-Saxon and European cultures and immigrants coming from Islamic Eastern countries. The author examines crucial historical, political, religious and cultural differences. Attention is paid to “visible differences“, concerning visual symbols of religion and lifestyle represented in English-written literature (novels by Betty Mahmoody and Khaled Hosseini) and media. The article also explores various social metaphors and answers a question whether these cultures are compatible and whether acculturation or cultural pluralism can be reached. |
