This research attempts to explore the difficulties that jamilah faces as a secondgeneration immigrant muslim in australia and to examine the process jamilah undergoes in finally developing her hybrid identity in randa abdel-fattah’s ten things i hate about me (2006). The research findings reveal: firstly, jamilah experiences several struggles as a second-generation immigrant, such as cultural clashes, generational gaps, the harsh realities of discrimination, the weight of stereotypes, and the burden of prejudices. Therefore, these internal and external factors play a significant role in forming her hybrid identity. Secondly, jamilah constructs her hybrid identity through processes that include: (1) denying her origin identity, (2) adjusting to her new identity, (3) embracing her origin identity, and simultaneously maintaining her new identity. Hence, constructing a hybrid identity is seen as a strategic approach to address the struggles she faces in a culturally diverse society. It is linked not only to her acceptance of her own culture but also to her embrace of both cultures, exemplifying a commendable demonstration of cultural hybridity. Through the analysis of randa abdel-fattah’s ten things i hate about me, the researcher sheds light on the effects of migration as the process of creating hybrid identity in the individuals reflected through literary work.
