Hyphenated-Homestead

The term “hyphenated” in “Hyphenated Homestead” refers to the use of a hyphen (-) to connect or join two separate words or parts. In this context, it symbolizes the connection between two different cultural identities or heritages.

“Homestead” typically refers to a place of residence or dwelling, often associated with a sense of belonging or home.

So, “Hyphenated Homestead” metaphorically signifies a space where two cultures or heritages come together, symbolizing the fusion or coexistence of different backgrounds in one’s home or life. It represents the concept of blending or navigating between two distinct cultural identities within one’s living environment or personal space.

Imagine someone who was born and raised in Pune, India, and later moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States. (Me!!!) This individual embodies a hyphenated identity – someone who identifies with both their Indian heritage and their American experience.
