This article explores the issue of subjectivity under migration in Mohsin Hamid's Exit West through the application of Foucauldian theorization of the construction of subject through genealogy. For Foucault, it is the insurrection of subjugated knowledge. It deals with the manifestations of power in the society through 'strategies of domination'. Foucault Emphasizes the controlling of the private lives of the laymen. This subjectified community is "carceral culture" where social subjects face diffused punishments and discipline restricting their personal emancipation. The study finds that migrants experience the issue of subjectivity because of political reasons and the dominance of discourse-media functions as a tool of surveillance of the subjects. Exit West explores the issues of migrants' subjectivity in the context of 9/11 and the western discursive construction of the (Muslim) subjects.
