Abstract

As a melting pot of different cultures and backgrounds, host countries often present a challenge for migrants to maintain their cultural identity. This is especially true for Indonesian migrants who leave their home country in search of better opportunities in new lands. However, the journey to adapt to a new culture is not easy and often ends in social isolation. Often, these migrants struggle to navigate cultural differences and feel a sense of displacement. However, despite these challenges, many are still surviving and trying to blend in and adapt. They do this not only for economic reasons, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to gain experience and learn from different cultures. The objective of the research is to describe the context of cultural identity and its impact on social isolation as a cultural dynamic in a new environment which migrant worker overcome. Using qualitative data methods, this research aims to gain deeper understanding that migrant dynamics are not okay and it need a special attention from origin and host countries. Through their perseverance and determination to adapt, these migrants are able to bridge the gap between their cultural identity and the communities in which they currently live. This not only enriches their personal experience but also serves to increase cultural understanding and acceptance in the host country.
