Hamid’s sensibilities of the fluctuant Western paradigm opposing immigrants, fundamentalism, and terrorism during post-9/11 is depicted from the protagonist’s perspective.

Globalization is the process of integration of economies and societies, and the intermingling of different cultures. In other words, globalization is the process of the mobilization and distribution of resources (tangible and intangible) from one geographic boundary to another. It leads to interdependence. In spite of the fact that the ongoing global changes are essential to human beings, these changes do not similarly affect everyone in society. Though globalization can have a positive impact on people, it can also drastically affect some sectors of society by widening the gap between the poo

This paper attempts to hold a mirror to the existential struggle of an immigrant Muslim woman who is trying to survive on her journey to the west. Mohsin Hamid presents Nadia as one of the main characters in his 2017 novel Exit West. The paradox concerning Nadia is that while her preference for wearing a long black robe confirms the western misconstrued image of Muslim women, her actions, her view of the world, of life and of herself definitely refute the ingrained eastern notion of the suppressed, submissive, silenced Muslim woman.

Hence, creative ways of reading provide alternatives to buying into the globalized and ever-globalizing capitalist system — alternatives that Hamid suggests his readers should embrace.

Abstract:

From a postcolonial standpoint, this study examines the issues of identity crisis and cultural assimilation in Mohsin Hamid's Reluctant Fundamentalist. The novel illustrates the psychological struggle people have when juggling their Eastern identities with Western norms through the figure of Changez. Using postcolonial ideas such as Homi Bhabha's notions of mimicry and hybridity and Edward Said's Orientalism, the study illustrates how assimilation into Western society can lead to resistance, self-fragmentation, and alienation. According to the article, Hamid criticizes the cultural pressures i

Abstract:

This article proposes a reading of Hamid’s novel Exit West (2017) that pays attention to the tropes and formulas of fantasy and science fiction used to frame an account of the so-called refugee crisis. Although the novel portrays situations rooted in the global concern regarding migrants, Hamid structures his story through associations with non-mimetic genres employing the trope of magical doors that provide escape to those desperate to flee their surroundings. I argue that replacing the hardships of travel with such a magical means of transport helps to relativize our perception of the situat

Abstract:

Mohsin Hamid is, along with Salman Rushdie, one of the most powerful ”postcolonial voices" in British literature to employ elements of magical realism in order to fictionally recreate a hectic contemporary history that seems to be moving faster than ever. People desperately flee from violent civil wars, seeking refuge, and politics of inclusion flourishes in Europe in response. Against this background, drawing inspiration from various violent events, like the Syrian Civil War, the fall of Mosul and the Yemeni Civil War, as well as from his personal migrant experience, Hamid publishes his

Abstract:

The rapid surge in global migration today is deeply intertwined with shifts in the political and economic structures of the late twentieth century, characterized by the dominance of globalization and transnational capital. These shifts, while rooted in the historical legacies of colonialism, have assumed new dimensions as globalization reconfigures the movement of people, capital, and ideas. In Exit West, Mohsin Hamid connects the personal experiences of migration with larger global forces, using magical doors to metaphorically illustrate the fluidity and unpredictability of global migration p

The narrative unfolds in a world marked by such complex issues of identity crisis, culture hybridity, racism, colonial legacies, etc. Hamid focuses on examining the drastic change of characters without acknowledging why it occurs.

Abstract:

The Last White Man employs speculative fiction techniques to challenge systemic inequality based on racial privileges. A world is imagined by Mohsin Hamid where the white undergo a racial transformation that is as loathsome as Kafkian metamorphosis into a cockroach. While this speculative aspect describes the racial transformation as fragile because it is something biological, it acts as a tool for social critique exposing the impact that race can have on one's identity particularly in face of the dominant stereotypes about race. Through its form, the novel destabilizes the traditional notions

The problem of refugees has spread at a large scale throughout the world in the twenty-first century. Refugees are the migrants worst-hit by their destinies as they are forced to leave their home and hearth due to some sort of political or religious conflicts, war or violence. They are completely unwanted in the country of their arrival due to fear and suspicion of the natives. At the same time refugees earnestly desire to be treated on humanitarian ground and regain the lost space in this world. Mohsin Hamid marvelously deals with this problem of refugees in his fourth novel Exit West (2017)

Abstract: In Exit West (2017), Mohsin Hamid introduces a fantastic element—black doors that instantaneously transport anyone crossing their threshold to other places on the planet— which disrupts the time/space relations of a fictional world otherwise akin to our own. In doing so, the novel undermines the role of geopolitical borders, questions normative understandings of migration and the refugee, and, perhaps most importantly, shifts the novel’s operating chronotope from a dystopian trajectory to a utopian one.

After the events of 9/11, the idealized notion of the melting pot was abandoned. Therefore, another version of America initiates fueled by post-9/11 xenophobia and President Bush administration’s “war on terror” launched on the pretext of promoting democracy. The Bush Doctrine, however, represented terrorism as a cause rather than an effect of the long history of Western colonization, oppression and manipulation of the Musli
