In Deadly Time: The lasting on of waste in Mayhew's London
This article examines the temporal dimension of waste in Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor as an instance of how modernity has produced a largely hidden domain of the non-identical and indeterminate. Through a consideration of the phenomena of uselessness, decay and poverty I argue that the temporal dimension of waste is constituted as a corrosive or malign `Deadly Time'.

The second major migration wave began in 1965, in the midst of a U.S. campaign for s…
Mass Asylum and Human Rights in American Foreign Policy
From 1948, when the United States began admitting European displaced persons, until 1980, when the so-called Cuban freedom flotilla arrived in Florida, the standard method of admitting refugees to this country was first to screen them abroad and then to permit them entry according to their place on rank-order waiting lists.Although nearly 2 million aliens entered the United States in this manner, the political problems associated with large-scale…
