Text-In Context Proposal

I would want my text -in context paper to be a take on the immigration crisis that is the focus of Hamid’s novel, Exit West, and its connection to the issues of immigration within the borders of England, but specifically London. I want to spend some time talking about how immigration affects economy, politics, and communities within London. I want another portion of my paper to have a section dealing with Brexit and the connection immigration had with the initialization of Brexit and how post-Brexit reactions regard immigration now. I would want to focus on the reactions British natives have on the immigration crisis, like Hamid does, and focus on statistics that indicate how these people regard immigrants within their neighborhoods. I would also want to mention details and statistics of those immigrating into London and how they regard the reactions of natives and how personal it is to move from one’s country to another where one is unwelcome. I do not know if I will have enough space to this part in, but I would like to spend a little portion of my paper going into details of immigration around the world. Focusing on immigration statistics on the specific places that Hamid mentions briefly in between his story of Saeed and Nadia. It would also be beneficial for my paper to add in details into these specific countries that are seeing huge amounts of emigration because it would show how turmoil or war, famine, and other severe crisis’ lead to huge increases of upheaval within people and shows how the people who are victims leaving their countries are as unhappy and unwilling to leave and settle elsewhere, but have no other choice.
