The chronopolitics of the 'Left Behind: Presentism, populism, and Global Britain
This article examines the "Left Behind" as a temporal construct and its political uses. In the UK, the "Left Behind" is predominantly discussed as a group of people sharing a similar geographical locale, White identity, and deprivation. Political parties and commentators have been integral to constructing this White class as a deserving poor and voting bloc, who have not reaped the benefits of economic development. Instead of assessing the empiri…
Precarious academic citizens: Early Career Teachers' experiences and implications for the academy
The fragmentation of academic work and its uneven distribution among academic staff have produced particular challenges for new entrants to teaching in Higher Education, Early Career Teachers [ECTs]. In this paper, documentary analysis of the narratives of fourteen ECTs, who worked across six different continents, was undertaken. The findings highlight the diverse forms of precarity that ECTs face, which cut across migratory, identitarian, econom…
Historicising Mauritian self-determination at the International Court of Justice
Between 2018 and 2019, the International Court of Justice considered whether the formation and current existence of British Indian Ocean Territory violated international law. This article reveals how three temporalities – decolonial nation-state, colonial and indigenous – shaped, and were shaped by, differing conceptions of Mauritian self-determination within the Case. In doing so, this study provides an account of previously unrecognised notions…
Unforeignness: Commonwealth rule and imperial citizenship
This article introduces Anglocentric unforeignness and postcolonial unforeignness as organising signifiers and objects of historical inquiry. Expressions of unforeignness offer terms of Commonwealth pluralism-solidarism by configuring, rather than overcoming, imperial citizenship and colonial self-government. Anglocentric unforeignness strived for common political agendas and affective unity across, and for, the “White” British Empire. In contras…

Rémy Ollier and Imperial Citizenship
This essay discusses Rémy Ollier’s (1816–45) journalism. As an early claimant of citizenship through (rather than against) the British Empire during the 1840s, Ollier attempted to redress a gap that he perceived between the institutionalization of rights in Britain and Mauritius. Established accounts of Ollier’s political intervention provide a rich narrative of how his efforts are implicated in the development of rights in Mauritius and broader …
Understanding the contemporary race-migration nexus
The linkage between race and migration, especially in the UK since the 1990s, has shifted from a focus on postcolonial migrants to focus on newer groups, while migration within the European Union has also altered the discussion of racism and migration. This critical review provides a framework for understanding how race is conceptualized (or ignored) in contemporary scholarship on migration. We identify three, partly overlapping nexi between migr…
Subverting orientalism: Political subjectivity in Edmund Burke's India and liberal multiculturalism
There has recently been extensive debate on the relation between multiculturalism and orientalism. Yet the question which elides this is how orientalist visions of political subjectivity find themselves articulated through multiculturalism. To address this question, this article explains whether liberal-pluralist multiculturalism poses a challenge to political orientalism. Historically, Edmund Burke's writings on the French Revolution and speeche…
