While the cultural narrative divides refugees from nativists and finds reasons to bar refugees from entry to countries, Mohsin Hamid not only reveals the refugee perspective, but also questions the idea of nativism itself as a legitimate reason for division. While Exit West follows the story of Nadia and Saeed, it also includes the many other refugees that the couple run into, and the doors present opportunities not only for refugees fleeing war and persecution, but also for everyday people that…
