Summary/Abstract: This article aims to shed light on the themes of limitlessness, identity and conflictsof integration in Khuê Pham’s novel ‘Wo auch immer ihr seid’ (2021). It examinesborder phenomena such as experiences of foreignness, alienation, exclusion, and marginalization.Concepts of hybridity and rhizomatics are also taken into account in the analysis.In contrast to representatives of the generation of newcomers, Khuê Pham belongs to thegeneration of children of newcomers who were born in Germany, came into contact withthe culture there from an early age, and grew up in the era of hyperculturality, i.e., the era ofseemingly unlimited possibilities. The aforementioned aspects influence the process of identityformation and cause it to take place differently than for representatives of the generationof those who have arrived.
