Acculturation is the adoption of foreign customs as a result of contact with a foreign community. Nations that have been colonized or invaded often experience acculturation. Many acculturated communities face marginalization as a result of their diverse practices. Examples include Zainichi and Native Americans, both struggling with navigating their identity due to colonization and acculturation for survival. Defining indentity is difficult for individuals whose backgrounds differ from their hometowns or have multiple ethnic heritages. Pachinko’s Noa and Mosazu Baek and There There’s Tony Loneman and Orvil Red Feather exemplify the exploration of identities in acculturated communities.
