Writing Against Expulsion in the Post-War World

Making Space for the Human

Beschreibung

Herd tells a pre-history of the Hostile Environment, returning to a period, following the Second World War, when the brutal consequences of a politics of expulsion were visible. The book is a deep defence of human rights at a moment when such rights are under attack. It shows how we can resist and think beyond the politics of border and nation.
