As a society, we have been programmed to think about migration as a harrowing apocalypse waiting to destroy our world. In <em>Exit West<\/em>, Mohsin Hamid turns this idea on its head and presents us with a new idea: what if migration can look like cooperation instead? Hamid also takes other stereotypes that we hold and makes us rethink them. Why should a book only focus on the protagonists? Should the two main love interests stay together? By challenging our typical views on certain topics, Hamid changes how we view migration and how our world should react to it. However, Hamid destroys much of his carefully crafted work in the last chapter of his book by reverting back to the typical stereotypes.
