Using an anti-oppressive and social justice lens, this paper critically examines the prominent theories of unidirectional, bidimensional and interactive acculturation. The analysis reveals that all three theoretical schools of thought have omitted to critically examine acculturation in relation to dominant-subordinate oppression, mutual transformation of immigrants and the receiving society, formulation and reformulation of identities, and issues of social justice
