This essay reflects on the meaning of ‘the political’ in relation to academic work, in particular Irish Studies and literary scholarship. Speaking from the standpoint of my involvements as an ally-activist in grassroots migrant justice organising and my work as an academic, the essay explores the intersections, conflicts, and contradictions at play at the intersections between academia and activism, the literary and the political, representation and self-representation, with a particular focus on the work of BAME writers, including writers and activists in the asylum seeker movement
