Eviscerating equality
This article draws on the insights of narrative analysis to critically review recent changes to UK government equality policy through three examples: the announcement of a new equality strategy, changes to the governance of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), and the establishment and report of the Sewell Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities. I argue that these policy initiatives and the narratives justifying them signal moves t…
In the wake of the hostile environment
This article examines the place of reproduction in the UK migration policy popularly known as 'the hostile environment', introduced in 2012 by the Conservative-Lib Dem Coalition government, and the 'Windrush scandal' that followed. In order to think through how the reproductive sphere comes in to play in this policy and its consequences, I draw on theoretical insights from the work of Christina Sharpe and Saidiya Hartman, both of whom invite us t…
Oceans
Feminist analysis of gendered subjects unlocks a myriad of interdisciplinary debates, encounters and tensions.Oceans as feminist subject are equally and simultaneously comforting and disconcerting.The gendered subject (m/f), once theorised via a binary, hierarchies and description of dichotomy, then shifts and mutates into a fluid, connected, wet space of micro-and macro-organisms that are interconnected.To engage oceans as an interdisciplinary s…

Sameness and difference in government equality talk
This article discusses two sets of policy documents produced in the UK which form part of the 'equality and diversity agenda' as it was articulated by the Labour government and which led to formulation of the 2006 and 2010 Equality Acts. These documents are critically examined in order to identify the underlying definitions and discourses of equality and diversity that they deploy. What definitions of 'equality' and 'diversity' provide the legiti…
Recalling ‘The Scent of Memory’
Interruption, Reproduction and Genealogies of 'Staying Put' in Diaspora Space
In her 1999 article 'The Scent of Memory', Avtar Brah maps the ways in which gendered, classed and racialised identities and subjectivities are produced in the diaspora space of Britain. 'The Scent of Memory' begins, repeatedly returns to and ends with the figure of a mother - Jean, a white English woman in the Southall of the 1970s and 1980s. One way of reading this article is as a series of interruptions, each of which allows us to see Jean dif…
Finding Home in Bend It Like Beckham and Last Resort
Where do spaces of the home figure in contemporary studies of transnational, migrant, and diasporic cinema? According to Hamid Naficy, “accented,” exilic, and diasporic cinema primarily evokes a state of “permanent deterritorialization,” producing cinematic languages of discontinuity and fragmentation. The liminality, or in-between-ness, of transnational spaces and subjects is seen as a productive ground for the representation of “a contentious s…
Birth, Belonging and Migrant Mothers
Drawing on feminist philosophical accounts of reproduction and initial data acquired through research with migrant mothers in London, this article argues that the role and place of reproduction remains under-theorized within scholarly accounts of women's role in migration processes. Working with an expanded concept of reproduction that includes not only childbirth and motherhood, but also the work of reproducing heritage, culture and structures o…
Unhomely Homes
Drawing on the insights of feminist theories of identity, this paper examines the ways in which problematic concepts of home, family, belonging and the ‘immigrant woman’ underpin discourses of immigration and asylum. It explores these issues through a critical reading of both government policy documents and tabloid press representations, and considers how these texts both presume and produce gendered limits to the terms of citizenship and belongi…
Sexual Moralities
Against Purity
Against Purity confronts the difficulties that white Western feminism has in balancing issues of gender with other forms of difference, such as race, ethnicity and nation. This pioneering study places recent feminist theory from India in critical conversation with the work of key Western thinkers such as Butler, haraway and Irigaray and argues that, through such postcolonial encounters, contemporary feminist thought can begin to work 'against pur…
Screening culture, viewing politics
Identity in Transit
This article explores the problems and possibilities of different feminist theoretical models of identity for challenging women's symbolic and strategic positioning in the discourses and conflicts that produce national, ethnic and racialized community identities. The discussion focuses on two of the most popular alternative models to emerge within white western feminism, the nomad and the cyborg, while also considering some other suggested paradi…
Power, Politics and Performativity
L'article d'Elisa Glick Sex positive se penche sur l'utilite de ce qu'elle identifie comme des discours pro-sexe dans la theorie queer et feministe. Mais sa critique materialiste de ces discours interroge plus largement le feminisme en general. Dans le present article, l'A. commente les positions de Glick selon trois axes : sa lecture de Judith Butler ; sa discussion de Foucault ; ses affirmations sous-jacentes concernant la politique, le changem…
Against Purity
This pioneering volume critiques the work of four eminent western feminists - Rosi Bradiotti, Judith Butler, Donna Haraway and Luce Irigaray - and explores the relationship between Indian and white western feminism
