Race, Law, and Liminality
Time, torture and Manus Island
Former asylum seeker detainee and journalist Behrouz Boochani (author of No Friend but the Mountains) and his collaborator Omid Tofighian speak about the experience of indefinite incarceration on Australia’s Manus Island and the psychological toll of waiting. They compare this form of detention to prison and the existential impact to torture. This Kyriarchal System, they argue, strips the individual of identity and humanity and they explain how s…
Mental health and death in custody
The author discusses the findings and recommendations of the first official review of practices and processes relating to and following police-related deaths in the UK. Dame Elish Angiolini’s 2017 report paid particular notice to mental health implications and the impact on families who had lost loved ones. Excerpts are provided here of remarks by Deborah Coles (of INQUEST) and Marcia Rigg (of the United Families and Friends Campaign) at the repo…
The queer demands of postcoloniality
Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments
The Hawthorn Archive
The Hawthorn Archive: letters from the utopian margins, by Avery Gordon, is a repository of conversations, intimate epistolary exchange and critical public manifesto, introspective and declaratory commentary.Its interventions are both acute and startlingly applicable across broad swathes of social thought.Gordon demonstrates the skill of a seasoned curator fluent in the power of association, intertextuality, and the multiple registers and texture…
Refugee Law in Crisis
This chapter aims to critically interrogate foundational aspects of refugee law from a decolonial perspective. Considered within the context of contemporary debates on counterterrorism and border control in the United Kingdom, it argues that the way we conceptualize violence within the broader project of refugee protection underpins our complicity in the global ordering of violence and suffering. The chapter aims to reveal this dynamic and to pro…
Archiving Racial Violence
Race in the Shadow of Law
Race in the Shadow of Law offers a critical legal analysis of European responses to institutional racism. It draws connections between contemporary legal knowledge practices and colonial systems of thought, arguing that many people of colour experience the law as a part of a racial problem, rather than a solution, to racial injustice. Based on a critical legal ethnography of anti-racism work in Europe, and with an emphasis on the German context, …
German policing at the intersection
Germany not only avoids using the term 'race', but its institutions, such as the police, refrain from collecting statistics according to race, gender, ethnicity and so on, which makes it hard to prove that police actions, and particularly violence, differentially affect non-white Germans. Examining a series of controversial cases in which non-white Germans have been killed in encounters with the police, the author argues for an understanding of h…
Germany's Stephen Lawrence
Campaigners in Germany, protesting at the suspicious death in custody of Oury Jalloh in 2005 and the subsequent cover-up by the criminal justice system, are looking to the Lawrence trial, the Macpherson Report and other British institutional responses to see how Germany could learn from the British experience
