‘Melting Pot’ or ‘Salad Bowl’? : A Study of Cyril Dabydeen’s Jogging in Havana (1992) Dr. D. Parameswari Senior Professor& Head, Department of English and Comparative Literature, Madurai Kamaraj University, Madurai – 625 021. Diasporic writing addresses issues related to amalgamation or disintegration of cultures. An expatriate writer anchored in two cultures, the one of origin and the other of settlement, either i) carves a new identity synthesizing the old and the new, and thus blurs the discriminating margins of the two, often polarized sociocultural mileaus – a phenomenon referred to by critics as ‘melting pot’ syndrome, or, ii) he reluctantly bids farewell to his native soil. Internalising nostalgia and suffering a forced amnesia, he endeavours to establish an identity which appears as a remote possibility since he is immersed in the oddities of the soil wherein he has sought refuge. Here, margins adamantly obstruct; confluences of the binaries become a distant dream, as the past intrudes and the present dominates. The picture is that of a ‘salad bowl’ where the components exist with distinct identities without any scope for merger. In the context of ‘melting pot’, the writer finds a new and comfortable home, whereas in the ‘ salad bowl’ he suffers bicultural pulls, and hence, a stranger in his new home, unable to relate himself to the centre and cross over from the old to the new. He is a frustrated writer, settled in a community foreign to him in terms of race, ethnicity and complexion. 1 ISSN 0976-8130 Cyril Dabydeen, a Guyanese – Canadian writer who immigrated to Canada in the year 1970 has authored several volumes of poetry, short-stories and novels. The present paper focuses on Jogging in Havana, one of his short-story collections brought out in 1992. Dabydeen, in his essay “India in Me: Reflections” proclaims that he will “continue to write (about) India while longing for a real home or place” (2000, 138). Canada, on the other hand, has fed him, has “nourished and brought to fruition his professional skill as a narrator” (Begum 65). If so, what is Dabydeen’s attitude to India/Guyana and then to Canada? Does he interact
