- Abstract
This paper investigates the problems of migration and role of Western Hegemony in shaping Eastern ideology in migrated subjects. Migration, as a painful and political process, alters Eastern subjects to the level of dehumanization through various socio-economic forces i.e. media, education, cultural programs etc. In Exit West, the protagonist Saeed represents the pangs of migration and his inability to leave his own country. Saeed escapes from war but finds himself strangled further in one crisis after other. Saeed's journey explains the nowhere-ness of non-Hegemonic social entities who has no place to be called home. They are the 'other' who neither speak nor are spoken about.
