America's conception involves the aspirations of immigrants but can dehumanize and erase previous identities, requiring homogenization. Ellis Island likened to a factory for transforming emigrants into immigrants, efficient yet dehumanizing.
Long Island, Colm Tóibín's sequel to Brooklyn, explores Eilis's experience in 1970s America, facing betrayal and encountering Irish reminders, hinting at the challenge of reclaiming one's original identity.
