چکیده

In the process of making and remaking any culture, mankind has encountered various challenges leading to the regeneration or degeneration of civilizations. Hence, coming to the realization that individuals can have active participation in creating and recreating their identities in the process of the cultural formation is regarded as the most influential human experience. Post-war era, is always a period of pervasive hopelessness and dejection, because both society s infrastructures and other significant factors influencing the creation and recreation of identities such as economy, family, and education are severely damaged. This article, in the light of Raymond William’s theory of culture indicates that how Khaled Hosseini addressed the fundamental concepts influencing the formation of the cultural process as a mutual interaction of individuals with the surrounding social world. It is highlighted that by juxtaposing peace, love, friendship, human rights with war, hatred, and prejudice Hosseini represented individual’s identity in the process of transition from hopelessness to hope or from crisis to success instead of focusing on problems. In The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns Hosseini represented the process of peace building by addressing peace indicators such as tolerance, attention to pluralities in society including ethnicities, religions, languages as well as races.
