چکیده
In this paper, I tackle the relat ionship between East and West from a cultural perspective.Though the difference is wide, they have in common a considerable number of social norms. Try ing to make a focuson how the West regards the East on the level of normal individuals, I analyse Kim Barnes’ novel “In the Kingdom of Men”. Her protagonists migrate from hometown ‘Oklahoma’ to ‘Saudi Arab ia’ or as we may call “Westerners go East”. It also an amalgam of racism, corporate colonialis m, culture clash, class issue, relig ion, grief and loss.
